Sample code for Genetic Algorithms

For what it is worth, here is some sample code for how to implement a Genetic Algorithm.

Be warned though:

The code is C++. (In fact, it is simplified C++ pseudocode.)
The code is a bit of a hack, and not very object-oriented. In particular, the separation of the abstract GA classes from the user application is not great. I'm sure you can figure out a more elegant design yourself.

The code:

The basic Genetic Algorithm classes
Sample implementation - Optimise a function over some interval
