function [pop,state]=fixedpopsize(pop,state,params)
%FIXEDPOPSIZE    Chooses fixed number of GPLAB individuals for next generation.
%   FIXEDPOPSIZE(POPULATION,STATE,PARAMS) returns the first STATE.POPSIZE
%   individuals from the ordered POPULATION (parents and offspring), for
%   the next generation. 
%   
%   Input arguments:
%      POPULATION - ordered list of (parents and offspring) individuals (array)
%      STATE - the current state of the algorithm (struct)
%      PARAMS - the parameters of the algorithm (struct)
%   Output arguments:
%      POPULATION - individuals surviving into the next generation (array)
%      STATE - the updated state of the algorithm (struct)
