public class Population extends Object
Population class is the initial process of the TS-MBFOA, where the initial random population is created based on uniform distribution and using the NumberRandom class. This class also has the mechanism to sort the solution space for the CNOP based on feasibility rules.

    Method returns the stored value for the stepSize parameter of the TS-MBFOA.
    void
    setBacteriumMatix(double[][] bacteriumMatix)
    With this method the CNOP solution matrix can assigned.
    void
    setSb(int sb)
    Method to assign the number of bacteria in the population.
    The number of the population is determined between [10, 500].
    void
