&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Evolutionary Algorithm&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (also EA, evolutionary computation, artificial evolution) &lt;br /&gt;
is a generic term used to indicate any population-based heuristic optimization &lt;br /&gt;
algorithm that uses mechanisms inspired by biological [[Evolution|evolution]], such as &lt;br /&gt;
reproduction, mutation and recombination. Candidate solutions to the &lt;br /&gt;
optimization problem play the role of individuals in a population, and the cost &lt;br /&gt;
function determines the environment within which the solutions &amp;quot;live&amp;quot; (see &lt;br /&gt;
also fitness function). Evolution of the population then takes place after the &lt;br /&gt;
repeated application of the above operators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Genetic Algorithms]] - This is the most popular type of EA. One seeks the solution of a problem in the form of strings of numbers or characters (traditionally binary), virtually applying recombination operators in addition to selection and mutation&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Genetic Programming]] - Here the solutions are in the form of computer programs, and their fitness is determined by their ability to solve a computational problem;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The major difference between [[Genetic Algorithms]] and [[Genetic Programming]] is&lt;br /&gt;
the target: in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Genetic Algorithms&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; you try to find a certain&lt;br /&gt;
blueprint or abstract code in form of strings, in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Genetic Programming&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; you&lt;br /&gt;
try to change a computer language code directly (for example a suitable&lt;br /&gt;
language like Lisp).&lt;br /&gt;
