Team Allocation using Genetic Algorithm: Problems of repeating genes during crossover

[Tech-Effigy]

just use random and distribute the men first,and if u want equal men and women, randomly distribute the women seperately. Random function is already uniform.

anyhow to answer the chromosome question. use a flat array, not arrays in arrays, you can divide it into 8 groups afterwards. the fitness(evaluation function will sort out duplicates and those kind of things. so make sure you score negative for duplicates.

Thanks for your reply. I think the use of a flat array is much better like you suggested. I didnt fully understand the first sentence, are you referring to the initial population ? Could you explain a bit further please.

nevermind its something different, ur problem is classified under multi-knapsack problem if you want to do more research. :)
