## Class OnePointCrossover<T>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.math3.genetics.OnePointCrossover<T>

- Type Parameters:
    `T` - generic type of the `AbstractListChromosome`s for crossover
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    CrossoverPolicy

      public class OnePointCrossover<T>
      extends Object
      implements CrossoverPolicy

  One point crossover policy. A random crossover point is selected and the first part from each parent is copied to the corresponding child, and the second parts are copied crosswise. Example:

       -C- denotes a crossover point
                         -C-                                 -C-
       p1 = (1 0 1 0 0 1  | 0 1 1)    X    p2 = (0 1 1 0 1 0  | 1 1 1)
            \------------/ \-----/              \------------/ \-----/
                  ||         (*)                       ||        (**)
                  VV         (**)                      VV        (*)
            /------------\ /-----\              /------------\ /-----\
       c1 = (1 0 1 0 0 1  | 1 1 1)    X    c2 = (0 1 1 0 1 0  | 0 1 1)

  This policy works only on `AbstractListChromosome`, and therefore it is parameterized by T. Moreover, the chromosomes must have same lengths.
  Since:
    2.0

      Performs one point crossover. A random crossover point is selected and the first part from each parent is copied to the corresponding child, and the second parts are copied crosswise. Example:

           -C- denotes a crossover point
                             -C-                                 -C-
           p1 = (1 0 1 0 0 1  | 0 1 1)    X    p2 = (0 1 1 0 1 0  | 1 1 1)

           c1 = (1 0 1 0 0 1  | 1 1 1)    X    c2 = (0 1 1 0 1 0  | 0 1 1)

      Specified by:
        `crossover` in interface `CrossoverPolicy`
      Parameters:
        `first` - first parent (p1)
        `second` - second parent (p2)
      Returns:
        pair of two children (c1,c2)
      Throws:
        `MathIllegalArgumentException` - iff one of the chromosomes is not an instance of `AbstractListChromosome`
        `DimensionMismatchException` - if the length of the two chromosomes is different
