Hands-On Genetic Algorithms with Python

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The __init__() method of the class creates the dataset."

A block of code is set as follows:

self.X, self.y = datasets.make_friedman1(n_samples=self.numSamples,                                         n_features=self.numFeatures,                                          noise=self.NOISE,                                          random_state=self.randomSeed)

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

self.regressor = GradientBoostingRegressor(random_state=self.randomSeed)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows: ...
