Question

Evolutionary Computation - What is the difference between genetic algorithm and evolutionary computation?

Answer

A 'genetic algorithm' encodes the problem in bit strings that are manipulated by the algorithm, whereas an 'evolutionary algorithm' uses the decision variables and problem functions directly. Most commercial Solver products are based on evolutionary algorithms.
