The primary function of <code>Problem</code> - is to evaluate a population and assign a fitness value to each chromosome. - <br> - Problems are free to define whether better fitness means a higher or lower fitness value. - In some problem types, it is more convenient to treat fitness 0 as the best possible value. - This can be done by changing the fitness orientation to <code>BestFitness.HIGH</code> or <code>BestFitness.LOW</code> as appropriate. - Fitness orientation is set to high by default. - <br><br> - When extending this class, the constructor should call a few methods in order to - properly construct the problem type: <code>setFunctionSet()</code>, <code>setFileExtension()</code> and <code>setFitnessOrientation()</code>, - with the respective arguments. As with all subclasses of <code>Module</code>, <code>setName()</code> and - <code>registerParameters()</code> should be used where appropriate as well. - <br><br> - It is advisable to use <code>Resources.reportln()</code> and <code>Resources.report()</code> - to print any relevant information. Note that reportln() and report() are affected - by the report interval base parameter.
