    """Hill Climber First Improvment used as quick exploration optimisation algorithm

    This algorithm do a neighborhood exploration of a new generated solution (by doing operation on the current solution obtained) in order to find a better solution from the neighborhood space.
    Then replace the current solution by the first one from the neighbordhood space which is better than the current solution.
    Do these steps until a number of evaluation (stopping criterion) is reached.

    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
        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
