template<class EOT>

EOT& eoPopulator< EOT >::operator*

(

void

)

[inline]

a populator behaves like an iterator.

Hence the operator* it returns the current individual -- eventually getting a new one through the operator++ if at the end

template<class EOT>

const eoPop<EOT>& eoPopulator< EOT >::source

(

void

[inline]

can be useful for operators with embedded selectors e.g.

your brain and my beauty -type

)

[inline]

Get the offspring population.

Can be useful when you want to do some online niching kind of thing
