what is 'bestSol' mean?

[Benknightdark]

Hi, oahziur, I'm Ben. I have a problem about the 'bestSol' variable. Here is the sample code.

interations=100;
m = 5;
n = 10;
J = [111,22,13,64,70,70,53,55,95,70];
[costs, bestSol] = GA(J, m, iterations);

When I use disp(bestSol), the console window output this matrix

4 1 1 3 5 2 2 5 1 3

Could you help me to interpret this matrix ? I don't know what is that mean.
thanks a lot and have a nice day.

Hi Ben,

You can check the project description here. bestSol is basically the best solution so far, which is a schedule matrix.

4 1 1 3 5 2 2 5 1 3 basically means first job is on machine 4, second job is on machine 1, third job is on machine 1, etc.

Please note that all of these methods are heuristic algorithms; thus, the solution is sub-optimal. Hope this help.
