/**
 * Single point crossover
 *
 * 
 * One or two children are created by taking two parent strings and cutting
 * them at some randomly chosen site. E.g.
 * 

 *	
 * 
 * If we create a child and its complement we preserving the total number of
 * genes in the population, preventing any genetic drift.
 * Single-point crossover is the classic form of crossover. However, it produces
 * very slow mixing compared with multi-point crossover or uniform crossover.
 * For problems where the site position has some intrinsic meaning to the
 * problem single-point crossover can lead to small disruption than multi-point
 * or uniform crossover.
