People tend to miss the point that you use these algos for problems where you really have no clue. Sure, we know a hell of a lot about TSP and can exploit that, but why if other algos exist. Problems like this are great for learning the ideas related to EC/EAs.
In practice, we're throwing these algos at weird stuff where we really know very little or nothing about the search space.
Testing
:+1: built local, looks good.
Additional Notes
Like before, used some figures from the text, which is freely available. If it's a problem, I'll change them out in the future.
