FixedElapsedTime (Apache Commons Math 3.3 API)

## Class FixedElapsedTime

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.math3.genetics.FixedElapsedTime

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    StoppingCondition

      public class FixedElapsedTime
      extends Object
      implements StoppingCondition

  Stops after a fixed amount of time has elapsed.

  The first time `isSatisfied(Population)` is invoked, the end time of the evolution is determined based on the provided `maxTime` value. Once the elapsed time reaches the configured `maxTime` value, `isSatisfied(Population)` returns true.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### FixedElapsedTime

          public FixedElapsedTime(long maxTime)
                           throws NumberIsTooSmallException

      Create a new `FixedElapsedTime` instance.
      Parameters:
        `maxTime` - maximum number of seconds generations are allowed to evolve
      Throws:
        `NumberIsTooSmallException` - if the provided time is < 0

    - #### FixedElapsedTime

          public FixedElapsedTime(long maxTime,
                          TimeUnit unit)
                           throws NumberIsTooSmallException

      Create a new `FixedElapsedTime` instance.
      Parameters:
        `maxTime` - maximum time generations are allowed to evolve
        `unit` - `TimeUnit` of the maxTime argument
      Throws:
        `NumberIsTooSmallException` - if the provided time is < 0

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### isSatisfied

          public boolean isSatisfied(Population population)

      Determine whether or not the maximum allowed time has passed. The termination time is determined after the first generation.
      Specified by:
        `isSatisfied` in interface `StoppingCondition`
      Parameters:
        `population` - ignored (no impact on result)
      Returns:
        `true` IFF the maximum allowed time period has elapsed
