\doxysubsection{Detailed Description}
in \mbox{\hyperlink{class_e_o}{EO}}, an operator is any functors that modifies objects and inherits from an \mbox{\hyperlink{classeo_op}{eo\+Op}}. 

Typically, a mutation is an operator that modifies an individual, and an algorithm is an operator that modifies a population.

In \mbox{\hyperlink{class_e_o}{EO}}, there is a genetic operator hierarchy, with \mbox{\hyperlink{classeo_op}{eo\+Op}} as father and \mbox{\hyperlink{classeo_mon_op}{eo\+Mon\+Op}} (monary or unary operator), \mbox{\hyperlink{classeo_bin_op}{eo\+Bin\+Op}} and \mbox{\hyperlink{classeo_quad_op}{eo\+Quad\+Op}} (binary operators) and \mbox{\hyperlink{classeo_gen_op}{eo\+Gen\+Op}} (any number of inputs and outputs, see eo\+Gen\+Op.\+h) as subclasses. Nobody should subclass \mbox{\hyperlink{classeo_op}{eo\+Op}}, you should subclass \mbox{\hyperlink{classeo_gen_op}{eo\+Gen\+Op}}, \mbox{\hyperlink{classeo_bin_op}{eo\+Bin\+Op}}, \mbox{\hyperlink{classeo_quad_op}{eo\+Quad\+Op}} or \mbox{\hyperlink{classeo_mon_op}{eo\+Mon\+Op}}, those are the ones actually used here.

\#eo\+Op\#s are only printable objects, so if you want to build them from a file, it has to be done in another class, namely factories. Each hierarchy of \#eo\+Op\#s should have its own factory, which know how to build them from a description in a file.
