Heuristic Search Algorithms Explained
A* Search Algorithm (A-Star)
A* (A-Star) is an informed search algorithm that finds the shortest path from a start node to a goal node using heuristics. It combines the advantages of Uniform Cost Search and Greedy Best-First Search.
A* Formula
f(n) = g(n) + h(n)
- g(n): Cost from the start node to the current node.
- h(n): Estimated cost from the current node to the goal (heuristic).
- f(n): Total estimated cost of the path through the current node.
Example of A* Search
Suppose
