% This function sort the current popultion based on non-domination. All the
% individuals in the first front are given a rank of 1, the second front
% individuals are assigned rank 2 and so on. After assigning the rank the

% The initialized population is sorted based on non-domination. The fast

% ?for each individual p in main population P do the following
% ?Initialize Sp = []. This set would contain all the individuals that is
% being dominated by p.
% ?Initialize np = 0. This would be the number of individuals that domi-
% nate p.
% ?for each individual q in P
% * if p dominated q then
% ?add q to the set Sp i.e. Sp = Sp ? {q}
% * else if q dominates p then
% ?increment the domination counter for p i.e. np = np + 1
% ?if np = 0 i.e. no individuals dominate p then p belongs to the first
% front; Set rank of individual p to one i.e prank = 1. Update the first
% front set by adding p to front one i.e F1 = F1 ? {p}
% ?This is carried out for all the individuals in main population P.
% ?Initialize the front counter to one. i = 1
% ?following is carried out while the ith front is nonempty i.e. Fi != []
% ?Q = []. The set for storing the individuals for (i + 1)th front.
% ?for each individual p in front Fi
% * for each individual q in Sp (Sp is the set of individuals
% dominated by p)
% ?nq = nq?1, decrement the domination count for individual q.
% ?if nq = 0 then none of the individuals in the subsequent
% fronts would dominate q. Hence set qrank = i + 1. Update
% the set Q with individual q i.e. Q = Q ? q.
% ?Increment the front counter by one.
% ?Now the set Q is the next front and hence Fi = Q.
