When was the last time you wrote an algorithm to plan your diet? As programmers, we do amazing things in our everyday job, but rarely do we use our knowledge at home. In this talk, I will introduce genetic algorithms. I’ll share how I coded a genetic algorithm from scratch, using it to generate my weekly schedule and create a smart diet planer. We will go through the different stages of the algorithm and explore how they affect the algorithm’s solutions. Let me show you a different side of genetic algorithms and you will discover a new way to solve your everyday problems.
