    `List<T>` | `decode(List<T> sequence)` Permutes the `sequence` of objects of type T according to the permutation this chromosome represents.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### decode

          List<T> decode(List<T> sequence)

      Permutes the `sequence` of objects of type T according to the permutation this chromosome represents. For example, if this chromosome represents a permutation (3,0,1,2), and the unpermuted sequence is (a,b,c,d), this yields (d,a,b,c).
      Parameters:
        `sequence` - the unpermuted (original) sequence of objects
      Returns:
        permutation of `sequence` represented by this permutation
