Algorithms for Games AI
Games have long been excellent benchmarks for AI algorithms for two reasons. Initially, games are developed to assess and challenge human intelligence, and the variety of games can provide a rich context for evaluating different cognitive and decision-making abilities. Secondly, addressing complex real-world challenges often requires repeated trial
An Open Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms
Data encountered in a computer program is classified by type. Common types include integers, floating point numbers, Boolean values, and characters. Data structures are a means of aggregating many of these scalar values into a larger collection of values. An algorithm is an explicit sequence of instructions, performed on data, to accomplish a desir
