Genetic Algorithms in Elixir: Code throws error (page 111)
Not sure if I’m doing something wrong here, but it seems that this piece of code will throw errors:
def fitness_function(chromosome) do
target = 'ILoveGeneticAlgorithms'
encrypted = 'LIjs`B`k`qlfDibjwlqmhv'
cipher = fn word, key -> Enum.map(word, & rem(&1 ^^^ key, 32768)) end
key =
chromosome.genes
|> Enum.map(&Integer.to_string/1)
|> Enum.join("")
|> String.to_integer(2)
guess = List.to_string(cipher.(encrypted, key))
String.jaro_distance(target, guess)
end
As
String.jaro_distance(target, guess)
Doesn’t expect ‘charlists’ but binaries
** (FunctionClauseError) no function clause matching in String.Unicode.graphemes/1
The following arguments were given to String.Unicode.graphemes/1:
# 1
'ILoveGeneticAlgorithms'
Attempted function clauses (showing 1 out of 1):
def graphemes(binary) when is_binary(binary)

I’m running this on:

Elixir 1.10.3 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 23)
Not sure if something has changed recently regarding this issue.
Also, it seems the capture operator ‘&’ is in the wrong place in the book and should be moved before the call to ‘rem’ otherwise a
** (ArithmeticError) bad argument in arithmetic expression: rem(#Function<1.106933999/1 in CodeBreaker.fitness_function/1>, 32768)

will occur.
I think on the next page in the iex example it is the correct way.

Strings in Elixir are inserted between double quotes. Therefore change: target = 'ILoveGeneticAlgorithms' to: target = "ILoveGeneticAlgorithms"
