Hungarian Algorithm

The Hungarian Algorithm is a method used to find the best way to pair items in two groups (like workers and jobs) to minimize total cost or maximize total efficiency. It systematically analyzes the costs for each pairing, adjusting the values to identify the optimal matches without trying every possibility. Think of it as a smart way to assign tasks to minimize expense or time, ensuring the most effective overall outcome. It's widely used in problems like scheduling, resource allocation, and matching tasks to agents efficiently.
