Key Terms

Graph
A collection of nodes connected by edges.

Example: A social network can be represented as a graph where users are nodes.

Node
An individual element in a graph.

Example: In a city map, each intersection can be a node.

Edge
A connection between two nodes in a graph.

Example: The road between two intersections is an edge.

Pathfinding
The process of finding a route from one point to another in a graph.

Example: Finding the shortest route on a map.

A* Algorithm
A popular pathfinding algorithm that uses heuristics to find the shortest path.

Example: Used in GPS navigation systems.
