Heuristic Search and Hill Climbing

It prioritizes the open node that is closest to the start node.

A disadvantage occurs when the distances of the nodes are the same, making it resemble a blind search.

The A* Search combines elements of Hill climbing and Least Cost Search to generate a more informed evaluation.

<p>The equation is A = G + H, where G is the least cost and H is the value from the Hill climbing.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>A* Search is considered an improvement because it effectively balances the search between cost and heuristic guidance.</p> Signup and view all the answers
