Dear Bob

This line should be part of the function population_monitor:init/1 (that's file population_monitor, function init, which takes one argument).

The error it complains of is {badrecord,state}, so perhaps the record S has been badly set up.

Are you learning erlang through neuroevolution :) ?  Do you have other reference resources?

Nadolig Llawen

Ivan
