Population: P, P'

The maximal population $P$ has $length=5$ over an alphabet $\Sigma = \{0,1\}$. Thus we have $2-many$ elements in the alphabet with $\vert P\vert = 2^{length} = 2^{5} = 32$.

The working set $P'$ shall be a subset of $P$ with $n=4$ many elements in $P'$. The real values of the elements of $P'$ will be chosen by chance.

Using the scilab program GA_v4.sec15.2 we can call the function $popgen()$ to generate a working population $Pwork$ with 4 many members, each member with the length=5:

 -->n=4, l=5,[Pwork]=popgen(n,l)
 n  =
 
    4.  
 l  =
 
    5.  
 Pwork  =

    0.    1.    0.    0.    1.  
    1.    0.    0.    1.    0.
