When we dive into the thinking, approach, and life cycle of the genetic algorithm, it should become clear where this powerful algorithm can be applied, and perhaps you will think of other uses in your work. It is important to keep in mind that a genetic algorithm is stochastic, which means that the output of the algorithm is likely to be different each time it is run.
