Fitness

Fitness is used to determine which chromosomes will be used for the next generation. Mathematically, for chromosome Sk: fitness = f(Sk) where: k = 1,..., n; n is a population size, which function that you use to calculate the fitness is obviously dependant on how you decide to encode the string to represent your problem.
