# PGASetIntegerInitPermute(2)

sets a flag to tell the initialization routines to set each integer-valued gene to a random permutation of the values given by an upper and lower bound.

## NAME

PGASetIntegerInitPermute - sets a flag to tell the initialization routines to set each integer-valued gene to a random permutation of the values given by an upper and lower bound.

## DESCRIPTION

The length of the interval must be the same as the string length.  This is the default strategy for initializing integer-valued strings. The default interval is \[0,L-1\] where L is the string length.  No string initialization is done by this call.

## INPUT PARAMETERS

- ctx

  \- context variable

- min

  \- the lower bound of numbers used in the permutation

- max

  \- the upper bound of numbers used in the permutation

## OUTPUT PARAMETERS

- none

  ## SYNOPSIS

```
#include "pgapack.h"
void  PGASetIntegerInitPermute(ctx, min, max)
PGAContext *ctx
int min
int max
```

## LOCATION

integer.c

## EXAMPLE

```
Set the initialization routines to set each gene to a random and
unique value from the interval $[500,599]$.
PGAContext *ctx;
:
PGASetIntegerInitPermute(ctx, 500, 599)}
```
