how to constrain fitness function output to be integers in matlab

To constrain the output of a fitness function in Matlab to integers, you can use the floor or round functions to round down or round to the nearest integer, respectively. Here's an example of how you can modify your fitness function to output only integers:

main.m
function fitness = myFitnessFunction(params)
    % Your fitness function code here
    % Calculate the fitness based on your constraints
    
    % Round down the fitness to the nearest integer
    fitness = floor(fitness);
end

By using the floor function, any float/decimal value will be rounded down to the nearest integer. If you prefer to round to the nearest whole number, you can replace floor with the round function in the example above.

Keep in mind that this will only work if your fitness function is designed to output floats/decimals initially. If your fitness function already outputs integer values, then there is no need to apply further constraints.

Remember to replace myFitnessFunction with the name of your actual fitness function in the code.
