Questions and Answers

What is the main characteristic of a heuristic search?

  • It depends on the problem
  • It aims for an exact solution
  • It uses logic in decision making (correct)
  • It guarantees efficiency in computation time
  • What is the goal of heuristic algorithms?

  • To find an approximate solution in a reasonable amount of time (correct)
  • To find an exact solution to a problem
  • To disregard logic in decision making
  • To guarantee efficiency in computation time
  • What does the term 'problem dependent' mean in the context of heuristic search?

  • It means the solution is always exact
  • It refers to the reliance on logic in decision making
  • It indicates that the algorithm is not influenced by the problem
  • It implies that the approach varies based on the specific problem (correct)
