%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Function simpleGA:
% This Function illustrate how a GA could be used to evolve a population of 
% randomly generated bianry strings. The Fitness of an individual is determined 
% by the number of '1'. An archive will store the fittest individual at each
% generation and the evolutionary trace plotted after the algorithm shows that 
% GA is capable of improving the fitness of the evolving population
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Algorithm Definations: 
% pop               An array of individuals which represent the evolving population
% pop(i)            The ith individual in the evolving population
% pop(i).chromosome The genotype value of the ith individual, which is a
%                   binary sting in this algorithm
% pop(i).fitness    The fitness of the ith individual 
% fitness_trend     An array which tracks the fitness of the archive
% pop_archive       An archive which stores the fittest individual in each generation
% matingpop         An array of individuals that are being selected for crossover and mutation

% Begin of Evolution:

% The mating pool will be created by applying tourament selection on the 
% combined evolving population and archive. Uniform crossover and bit-flipped 
% mutation will be applied subsequently. This process will be repeated for 
% MAX_GENERATION generations
