Hi all,
I am new user in Octave, start to use Octave for about 2-3 weeks.
I have searched the forum but there is no question about it. I could not
solve it with a function.
My question is, in MATLAB genetic algorithm, there is a function called
"bindecod" that decodes binary to integer values. This function uses this;

/bindecod(Chromosome,FieldD,Coding)


Is there way of doing it in Octave? or other alternative way?

Hi Basar Cetin,

I think you refer to this function http://www.geatbx.com/docu/bindecod.html of some toolbox "GEATbx - The Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithm Toolbox for Matlab". In MATLAB itself I didn't find a function like that. GEATbx is not free software, nevertheless if you have purchased a license there was a chance to run the m-files in Octave, too.

In Octave there exists a "Genetic optimization code" package http://octave.sourceforge.net/ga/index.html, but I'm not familiar with it.

Information on how to install a package from the collection "Octave forge" you find here: http://octave.sourceforge.net/index.html.

For your specific problem of converting binary strings I would suggest to take a look at this functions:

Best,
