This submission includes the main components of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) including Selection + Crossover + Mutation + Elitism. There are functions for each and the GA has been developed as a function as well. Of course, it is the discrete (binary) version of the GA algorithm since all the genes can be assigned with either 0 or 1.
