tree search

Tree search is a method used in computer algorithms to explore possible options or paths systematically. Imagine a tree structure where each branch represents a possible decision or step, and each node is a state or situation. The algorithm starts at the root (initial state) and explores branches to find a specific goal or solution. Techniques vary from exploring broadly to focusing on promising paths, helping computers solve problems like navigating maps, playing games, or optimizing routes efficiently. Essentially, it's a structured way to search through many options to find the best or a desired outcome.
