"But I'm having a problem, quite often the populaion i overrun with exactly the same genes. I really need hlp figuring out how this is happening."

There can be a number of reasons for that. (1) Your population size is too small (GP works best with large populations) (2) Your mutation rate is too low (but your program it looks fine), or (3) Individuals with a low fitness have a too low probability to reproduce. If only the fitest individuals are allowed to reproduce they will take over the whole population. So weaker individuals have to have a chance to reproduce too. The probability for this depends on the population size. For a large population it can be low, for a small population is has to be high.

Hope that helps

Have Fun

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
