Types are used to define return types of Primitives and Chromosomes. They are also used to define the argument types of Functions. A type has a string which defines the name of the type, name, and a unique integer which is used to identify the type (the typeID). This class has many predefined Types which are implemented as constants of this class. If a new type is required, make sure that a unique typeID is used. Note that to facilitate their use in java switch statements, Type constants for the predefined types also have their typeIDs duplicately defined as integer contants.
