This course has been designed to introduce you to a field of programming you might have never been exposed to. In this course, you’ll learn everything you need to know to start working with genetic algorithms. As you work through the course, you’ll build a framework for problems using genetic algorithms. By the end, you’ll have a full-featured, customizable framework complete with statistics, genealogy tracking, and more, and you’ll have learned everything you need to solve practical problems with genetic algorithms.

Genetic Algorithms in Elixir

## Deciding the best termination criteria

With three possible means of determining when to stop, we need to decide which one works best for the cargo problem. The simplest is to stop after a certain number of generations. Of course, we could use a temperature mechanism, but that's too complicated for the task at hand.

For our problem, firstly, ensure the `terminate?` callback in the `Problem` module is set up to accept a `generation` argument. Additionally, ensure that the `run` and `evolve` functions are configured to track generations:
