Re^2: Brute force perl

I thought about GAs for a bit. What I'm missing is a good fitness function..

I suppose something like the following psuedocode might produce results:

return ( valid_perl_p($individual) ? length($individual) : 0 );

It looks like I have some work to do :)

Right, but from those I'll get ``it works'' or ``it doesn't'', nothing more. I'm working on it, though :). AI::Genetic is producing interesting results already..	[reply]

from those I'll get "it works" or "it doesn't", nothing more. What more do you want? You said you were looking for valid perl. Code is either valid, or it's not. Since you haven't defined what "works" means, a natural assumption is that it means it's valid, i.e. it compiles and runs without error.	[reply]
