I am putting together a C++ program to manipulate some objects
using genetic operators.

I intend to overload the artimatic operators (+-/* etc.) and possible
some logic ones like AND NOT etc to represent genetic operators.

For example A = B*C
A would become the result of a crossover operation on B and C

A = A+5
A would become the result of a mutation operator on A at 5% poberbility

However before I go about deciding what all the operators should
represent, I suspect something like this has all been done before.

Is there any consensus on what Arithmetic operators should represent
which genetic operators?

Any help, pointers, suggestions would be much apriciated.

Thanks in advance

p.s. If you want to know what I'm going to do with this then
you might want to take a look at my (some what rough at the mo) web
