heuristic techniques

Heuristic techniques are problem-solving methods that use practical, experience-based strategies to find good enough solutions quickly, rather than guaranteed perfect ones. They act as mental shortcuts or rules of thumb that help simplify complex tasks, enabling more efficient decision-making. While they may not always produce the optimal answer, they are useful in situations needing fast or approximate results, especially when dealing with complex or uncertain problems. Examples include using past experience, general guidelines, or common sense to make choices efficiently.
