Editing Gene expression programming (section)

==Encoding: the genotype==
The genome of gene expression programming consists of a linear, symbolic string or chromosome of fixed length composed of one or more genes of equal size. These genes, despite their fixed length, code for expression trees of different sizes and shapes. An example of a chromosome with two genes, each of size 9, is the string (position zero indicates the start of each gene):

:<code><nowiki>012345678012345678</nowiki></code>
:
:<code><nowiki>L+a-baccd**cLabacd</nowiki></code>

where “L” represents the natural logarithm function and “a”, “b”, “c”, and “d” represent the variables and constants used in a problem.
