I have implemented an evolutionary algorithm in C# which kind of works but I have the assumption that the cloning does not. The algorithm maintains a population of object trees. Each object (tree) can be the result of cloning (e.g. after ‘natural selection’) and should be a unique object consisting of unique objects. Is there a simple way to determine whether the ‘object population’ contains unique/distinct objects – in other words whether objects are shared by more than one tree? I hope my question makes sense.

Thanks.

Best wishes,

Christian

PS: I implemented (I think) deep copy cloning via serialization see:

    The way to verify whether two objects are the same objects in memory is by comparing them using Object.ReferenceEquals. This checks whether the “Pointers” are the same.
