slide is taken from here. is this done total randomly or is it done pseudorandomly. I mean is there some forumula for randomness used in this case?

i learned about single point and double point crossover but confused in this stuff.

I don't think there is anything unclear here, but just to confirm the procedure is:

[code title=pseudocode]
for geneIndex in (0, genomeLength - 1):
if (random() < 0.5):
offspring1genome[geneIndex] = parent1genome[geneIndex]
offspring2genome[geneIndex] = parent2genome[geneIndex]
else:
offspring1genome[geneIndex] = parent2genome[geneIndex]
offspring2genome[geneIndex] = parent1genome[geneIndex]
[/code]

where random() is a (p)rng in [0, 1).
