// A simple genetic algorithm

//
// The program uses a simple genetic algorithm to learn a string that is
// entered by a user.
//
// The program starts by generating a population of guesses, and rates these
// by comparing them against the string that is entered by the user. Based on
// the ratings, a new generation of strings is created, and the process 
// continues until either we have found the right answer, or we have got bored
// with the process.
//
// The program illustrates a bunch of the things we have looked at so
// far this semester, especially the use of arrays and strings, and
// the bubble sort algorithm.
