Exhaustive Search

Exhaustive search is a method for finding a solution by checking every possible option until the correct one is found. Imagine trying to find a specific key in a large collection; you would look at each key one by one until you find the right one. While thorough and guaranteed to find the solution if it exists, this approach can be time-consuming and inefficient for large problems. It’s often used in situations where accuracy is critical and the search space is manageable, or as a baseline to compare more optimized methods against.
