PGARank(1) returns the rank of a string in a population.

DESCRIPTION

This is a value between 1,...,N (the population size). The most fit string has rank 1, the least fit string has rank N.

INPUT PARAMETERS

ctx
- context variable
p
- the index of the string whose rank is desired
order
- an array containing a unique rank for each string
n
- the size of the array order

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

none

EXAMPLE

Example:
Determine the rank of string p.
PGAContext *ctx;
int i, popsize, rank, *order;
double *fitness;
popsize = PGAGetPopsize(ctx);
order   = (int *)   malloc(sizeof(int)    * popsize);
fitness = (double *)malloc(sizeof(double) * popsize);
for(i=0;i<popsize; i++) {
fitness[i] = PGAGetFitness(ctx, p, PGA_OLDPOP);
order[i]   = i;
}
PGADblHeapSort(ctx, fitness, order, popsize);
rank = PGARank(ctx, p, order, popsize)
