Evolving readable Perl
conference contribution
posted on 2008-11-07, 09:40 authored by Mark S. Withall, Chris J. Hinde, Roger StoneA program is informally deemed readable, for the purpose
of this experiment, if it is easy for a person to
follow the steps that the program takes to solve the
problem. In this experiment, readability is achieved
by constraining the available syntax for generating solutions.
The Genetic Programming (GP) system created uses
the target language Perl because it is an interpreted,
untyped, robust procedural language which has good
error handling and recovery.
