Editing Inheritance (genetic algorithm) (section)

=== Example ===
Assume these two strings of bits represent the traits being passed on by two parent objects:

* Object 1: 1100011010110001
* Object 2: 1001100110011001

Now, consider that the crossover point is randomly positioned after the fifth bit:

* Object 1: 11000 | 11010110001
* Object 2: 10011 | 00110011001

During crossover, the two objects will swap all of the bits after the crossover point, leading to:

* Object 1: 11000 | 00110011001
* Object 2: 10011 | 11010110001

Finally, mutation is simulated on the objects by there being zero or more bits flipped randomly. Assuming the tenth bit for object 1 is mutated, and the second and seventh bits are mutated for object 2, the final children produced by this inheritance would be:

* Object 1: 1100000111011001
* Object 2: 1101110010110001
