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)
