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

## Implementing the average tiger feature

Now that you have extensible statistics tracking in place, you can use it to monitor more insightful statistics for your evolution, such as the average tiger for each climate.

You’ve already identified the fittest tiger for each climate; however, what matters more is how the entire population changes in a given climate. To identify this, you can implement an `average_tiger` statistic that tells you the average tiger for any given generation.

To do this, start by creating the following `average_tiger/1` function in your `TigerSimulation` module:
