Genetic Algorithm from Scratch in Python (tutorial with code)

PART 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQj5UNhCPuo

This video is part two of my series on genetic algorithms. In last week's video, we looked at how a genetic algorithm works and I have explained by example the theory behind it and its different applications and I highly recommend watching this video first.

In this week's tutorial, we will implement our first example of a genetic algorithm to solve the knapsack problem discussed last week in python. We won't use any libraries but write everything from scratch.

Happy Coding!
