    """Algorithm class used as basic algorithm

    This class enables to manage some common usages of operation research algorithms:
    - initialization function of solution
    - validator function to check if solution is valid or not (based on some criteria)
    - evaluation function to give fitness score to a solution
    - operators used in order to update solution during search process
    - policy process applied when choosing next operator to apply
    - callbacks function in order to do some relative stuff every number of evaluation or reload algorithm state
    - parent algorithm associated to this new algorithm instance (hierarchy management)


    Attributes:
        initalizer: {function} -- basic function strategy to initialize solution
        evaluator: {function} -- basic function in order to obtained fitness (mono or multiple objectives)
        operators: {[Operator]} -- list of operator to use when launching algorithm
        policy: {Policy} -- Policy class implementation strategy to select operators
        validator: {function} -- basic function to check if solution is valid or not under some constraints
        maximise: {bool} -- specify kind of optimisation problem 
        currentSolution: {Solution} -- current solution managed for current evaluation comparison
        bestSolution: {Solution} -- best solution found so far during running algorithm
        callbacks: {[Callback]} -- list of Callback class implementation to do some instructions every number of evaluations and `load` when initializing algorithm
        parent: {Algorithm} -- parent algorithm reference in case of inner Algorithm instance (optional)
