when storing the integer in a collection of numbers to be returned by
the function, <code>anneal()</code> first converts the integer back to
the appropriate decimal number by dividing the integer by 10 to the
power of the precision.</p>
<p>The initial temperature is the size of the largest range after the
bounds have been converted to integers. During each temperature
reduction, the <code>anneal()</code> function multiplies the
temperature by 0.95 and then rounds the result down to the nearest
integer (if the result isn't already an integer). When the
temperature reaches zero, annealing is immediately terminated.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 13px;"><b>Note:</b> Annealing can sometimes
complete before the temperature reaches zero if, after a particular
temperature reduction, a brute-force optimization approach (that is,
testing every possible combination of numbers within the subranges
determined by the new temperature) would produce a number of tests
that is less than or equal to the specified cycles per temperature.
In that case, the <code>anneal()</code> function performs the
brute-force optimization to complete the annealing process.</p>
<p>After a temperature reduction, the <code>anneal()</code> function
determines each new subrange such that the current optimal integer
from the total range is as close as possible to the center of the new
( run in 0.473 second using v1.01-cache-2.11-cpan-49f99fa48dc )
