the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type int.

longValue

default long longValue()

Returns the value of the specified gene as an long. This may involve rounding or truncation.

Returns:

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type long.

floatValue

default float floatValue()

Returns the value of the specified gene as an float. This may involve rounding or truncation.

Returns:

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type float.

doubleValue

default double doubleValue()

Returns the value of the specified gene as an double. This may involve rounding or truncation.

Returns:

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type double.

newInstance

G newInstance(Number number)

Description copied from interface: BoundedGene

Create a new gene from the given value and the current bounds.

Specified by:

newInstance in interface BoundedGene<N extends Number & Comparable<? super N>,G extends NumericGene<N,G>>

Specified by:

newInstance in interface Gene<N extends Number & Comparable<? super N>,G extends NumericGene<N,G>>

Parameters:

number - the value of the new gene.

Returns:

a new gene with the given value.
