Question
Which of the following algorithms is NOT an example of uninformed search?
Correct answer
(C) A Search
Solution
Uninformed search algorithms (also known as blind search) do not use any domain-specific knowledge or heuristics to guide the search. Examples include Breadth First Search (BFS), Depth First Search (DFS), and Depth-limited Search.Informed search algorithms use heuristics (estimates of the cost to reach the goal) to guide the search process. A* Search is a classic example of an informed search algorithm as it uses a heuristic function .Therefore, A* Search is NOT an example of uninformed search.
