Lab #2 Review

[rogierz]

Hello Federico, the following is my review of your code.

The implementation is good for small N, but on higher values, it yields a solution with high bloat. I have two questions for you:

• Have you tried something like a higher population size or offspring size to address it?
• In the README you say that the fitness is a tuple containing the count of numbers covered (to maximize) and the weight of the solution (to minimize). In your code, you only use the latter when you compare individuals, so what strategy did you use to maximize the number of covered numbers?

Hi, and thanks for your review! I have in fact tried a variety of offspring and population sizes, however this specific choice of values yielded a bit better solution. In my code I compare individuals using the fitness tuple, which in Python means that the order of the values in the tuple functions as a priority (with equal coverage, compare total number of elements). I hope I solved your doubts :)
