From where does the Genetic Algorithm take the values of variables in optimisation process?

In the genetic algorithm optimisation process, from where does the GA take initial values for the variables?

function y = simple_fitness(x) y = 100 * (x(1)^2 - x(2)) ^2 + (1 - x(1))^2;

FitnessFunction = @simple_fitness; numberOfVariables = 2; [x,fval] = ga(FitnessFunction,numberOfVariables)

In this script, we have not defined the values for x(1) and x(2) to start the optimisation process. However, the script is executed and we get the answer.

The genetic algorithm is described here. The details of the creation function are here.
