org.evomaster.client.java.controller.api.dto.HeuristicEntryDto.Objective

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<HeuristicEntryDto.Objective>

Enclosing class:

HeuristicEntryDto

public static enum HeuristicEntryDto.Objective
extends Enum<HeuristicEntryDto.Objective>

Should we try to minimize or maximize the heuristic?

Enum Constant Detail

MINIMIZE_TO_ZERO

public static final HeuristicEntryDto.Objective MINIMIZE_TO_ZERO

The lower the better. Minimum is 0. It can be considered as a "distance" to minimize.

MAXIMIZE

public static final HeuristicEntryDto.Objective MAXIMIZE

The higher the better. Note: given x, we could rather considered the value 1/x to minimize. But that wouldn't work for negative x, and also would make debugging more difficult (ie better to look at the raw, non-transformed values).

Method Detail

values

public static HeuristicEntryDto.Objective[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (HeuristicEntryDto.Objective c : HeuristicEntryDto.Objective.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static HeuristicEntryDto.Objective valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
