public class StepMutator

extends FloatMutator

Mutation of an float number with a maximal stepsize. This operator will add a random float number within the range from 0 to a given float number. The given number can be either positive or negative.
The mutated value = value + random( 0, stepSize )

Since:

0.4.0
