Using the New Framework in spelling word problem

Get to know how the new framework works in spelling word problem.

We'll cover the following...

To illustrate the power of our new framework, we’ll use it to solve a new basic problem: spelling. We’ll teach your algorithm to spell an impossibly long word: “supercalifragilistic”.

Start by creating a new file called speller.exs in scripts and define a new problem:

Press + to interact
defmodule Speller do
  @behaviour Problem
  alias Types.Chromosome
  def genotype do: # ...
  def fitness_function(chromosome) do: # ...
  def terminate?(population), do: # ...
end

Now define a Problem implementation for the tasks. In this chapter, we learned there are three parts to every problem: a genotype, a fitness function, and termination criteria.

The first thing to decide is the genotype. The goal is to spell “supercalifragilistic”, which is a 20-letter word. ...
