function [child] = shiftMutation(par,bounds,genInfo,Ops)
% Shift mutation performs displaces one random gene
% in a permutation to another position.
%
% function [newSol] =  shiftMutation(parent,bounds,Ops)
% parent  - the first parent ( [solution string function value] )
% bounds  - the bounds matrix for the solution space
% Ops     - Options for binaryMutation [gen prob_of_mutation]
