      • decode

        java.util.List<T> decode​(java.util.List<T> sequence)
        Permutes the sequence of objects of type T according to the permutation this chromosome represents. For example, if this chromosome represents a permutation (3,0,1,2), and the unpermuted sequence is (a,b,c,d), this yields (d,a,b,c).
        Parameters:
        sequence - the unpermuted (original) sequence of objects
        Returns:
        permutation of sequence represented by this permutation
