This is a very efficient implementation of a string solving genetic algorithm. The code has been completely vectorized and the program is able to handle any string of any length as long as it only contains ASCII characters (although this means most symbols are useable).
The code defaults to solving for "Hello, world!", however any input can be defined at the top line of the code.
