A* search algorithm

A* search algorithm is a computer program used to find paths from one point to another. It helps the computer to find a path through a maze or a network that is most efficient and fastest while taking into consideration any risks. To do this the program looks at each possible move and decides which one is most likely to get to the destination quicker and while avoiding any obstacles or risks. It's like trying to find the quickest route on a map while watching out for places you shouldn't go.
