Genetic algorithms: Genetic algorithms are a type of evolutionary algorithm that is inspired by the process of natural selection. They are used to solve optimization problems by generating and evolving a population of candidate solutions. Genetic algorithms work by first creating a population of randomly generated solutions. Each solution is then evaluated to determine its fitness, which is a measure of how well it solves the problem.
