NAME

       PGAEvaluate  -  Calls a user-specified function to return an evaluation
       of each string in the population.

DESCRIPTION

       The user-specified function is only  called  if  the  string  has  been
       changed  (e.g.,  by  crossover  or mutation) or the user has explicitly
       signaled  the  string’s  evaluation  is  out-of-date  by  a   call   to
       PGASetEvaluationUpToDateFlag().

INPUT PARAMETERS

       ctx    - context variable
       pop    - symbolic constant of the population to be evaluated
       f      -  a  pointer to a function to evaluate a string.  This function
              will be called once for  each  string  in  population  pop  that
              requires  evaluation.   This  function must return a double (the
              evaluation function value) and must  fit  the  prototype  double
              f(PGAContext *c, int p, int pop);
       comm   - an MPI communicator

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       none

SYNOPSIS

       #include "pgapack.h"
       void  PGAEvaluate(ctx, pop, , comm)
       PGAContext *ctx
       int pop
       double (*f)(PGAContext *, int, int)
       MPI_Comm comm

EXAMPLE

       Example:
       Evaluate all strings in population PGA_NEWPOP using the user-defined
       evaluation function Energy.

       double Energy(PGAContext *ctx, int p, int pop) {
       :
       };

       PGAContext *ctx;
       :
       PGAEvaluate(ctx, PGA_NEWPOP, Energy, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
