Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A robot needs to travel through a maze with multiple obstacles and find the quickest path to exit. Explain how you would implement the A* algorithm for this scenario.
💡 Hint: Consider how to evaluate which paths are more promising than others.
Discuss the limitations of relying solely on A* versus Dijkstra's algorithm in a dynamic environment where new obstacles may frequently appear.
💡 Hint: Think about the trade-offs between efficiency and thoroughness.
