encoding process #81

I am a beginner in programming. May I ask, does this package have encoding and decoding process? For example, binary encoding. where can I see this?

The project supports both decimal and binary encoding. But it does not convert one encoding to another. That is a decimal gene will not be encoded in binary and then decoded back to decimal.

To use binary encoding, simply set gene_space=[0, 1] in the constructor of the pygad.GA class.
