## org.optaplanner.core.config.heuristic.selector.common
Enum SelectionOrder

    java.lang.Object
      java.lang.Enum<SelectionOrder>
          org.optaplanner.core.config.heuristic.selector.common.SelectionOrder

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Comparable<SelectionOrder>

    public enum SelectionOrder

extends Enum<SelectionOrder>

Defines in which order the elements or a selector are selected.

Enum Constant Summary
`INHERIT` Inherit the value from the parent .
`ORIGINAL` Select the elements in original order.
`PROBABILISTIC` Select in random order, based on the selection probability of each element.
`RANDOM` Select in random order, without shuffling the elements.
`SHUFFLED` Select in random order by shuffling the elements when a selection iterator is created.
`SORTED` Select in sorted order by sorting the elements.

Method Summary
`static SelectionOrder` | `fromRandomSelectionBoolean(boolean randomSelection)`
`static SelectionOrder` | `resolve(SelectionOrder selectionOrder, SelectionOrder inheritedSelectionOrder)`
`boolean` | `toRandomSelectionBoolean()`
`static SelectionOrder` | `valueOf(String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static SelectionOrder[]` | `values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

### INHERIT

    public static final SelectionOrder INHERIT

  Inherit the value from the parent . If the parent is cached, the value is changed to `ORIGINAL`.

  This is the default. If there is no such parent, then it defaults to `RANDOM`.

### ORIGINAL

    public static final SelectionOrder ORIGINAL

  Select the elements in original order.

### SORTED

    public static final SelectionOrder SORTED

  Select in sorted order by sorting the elements. Each element will be selected exactly once (if all elements end up being selected). Requires `SelectionCacheType.STEP` or higher.

### RANDOM

    public static final SelectionOrder RANDOM

  Select in random order, without shuffling the elements. Each element might be selected multiple times. Scales well because it does not require caching.

### SHUFFLED

    public static final SelectionOrder SHUFFLED

  Select in random order by shuffling the elements when a selection iterator is created. Each element will be selected exactly once (if all elements end up being selected). Requires `SelectionCacheType.STEP` or higher.

### PROBABILISTIC

    public static final SelectionOrder PROBABILISTIC

  Select in random order, based on the selection probability of each element. Elements with a higher probability have a higher chance to be selected than elements with a lower probability. Each element might be selected multiple times. Requires `SelectionCacheType.STEP` or higher.

Method Detail

### values

    public static SelectionOrder[] values()

  Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

      for (SelectionOrder c : SelectionOrder.values())
          System.out.println(c);

  Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

    public static SelectionOrder valueOf(String name)

  Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
  Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

### resolve

    public static SelectionOrder resolve(SelectionOrder selectionOrder,
                                         SelectionOrder inheritedSelectionOrder)

  Parameters:
    `selectionOrder` - sometimes null
    `inheritedSelectionOrder` - never null
  Returns:
    never null

### fromRandomSelectionBoolean

    public static SelectionOrder fromRandomSelectionBoolean(boolean randomSelection)

### toRandomSelectionBoolean

    public boolean toRandomSelectionBoolean()
