=== Different evolution Strategies ===
=== Different evolution Strategies ===
There are different paradigms for implementing a genetic algorithm. ''Evolution Strategies'', invited by Ingo Rechenberg, are suitable for evolving real valued parameters to optimizing the result of a fixed formula. ''Genetic Algorithms'', introduced by John Holland are also for optimizing parameters in hard coded functions. Where the parameters are binary coded instead of floating point numbers. Genetic operations in Kandid can be better understand as 'Evolution Strategy''. But this abstract dispute.

=== Crossing over ===
=== Crossing over ===
Merging two genes is called crossing over. It is only used in sexual reproduction. Genetic algorithm can be implemented only with mutation operations. The advantage of crossing over is that the successor gene can take profit from both parent genes. Crossing over is a list operation. The new merged gene list is created by copying elements from both list step by step. At every step a random generator decides between continuing with the current list or changing to the other list as a source for the copying. This leads to multiple crossing over points per gene sequence.
