What are the advantages of genetic algorithm?

The main advantage of genetic algorithm in Artificial Intelligence is its ability to find good quality solutions in a short time of computation.

• The Concept of Genetic algorithm is easy to understand.
• Genetic algorithm is robust with respect to local maxima/minima.
• Genetic algorithm is good for noisy environments.
• The random mutation guarantees in a wide range of solutions.
• Coding the genetic algorithm is easy compared to other algorithms.
