The A[ star]: algorithm is a best-first search method. It means that the algorithm simultaneously contains several paths which may all be candidates for the shortest path. At any time, it selects the most promising node(best-first) at a time for expansion, and incorporates the successor nodes into the search graph. The criterion for evaluation is the length of the path from start to the node plus the estimate of the remaining distance(cost). The theory says that if the remaining estimate is an underestimate, the first solution will be optimal. 3, record 5, English, - A%5Bstar%5D%20search%20algorithm
