A* is a type of search algorithm that is used to find the shortest path between two points in a graph. It combines the strengths of both Breadth First Search and Dijkstra's algorithm by using a heuristic function to guide the search process.
The heuristic function estimates the cost of the cheapest path from the current node to the goal node. A* prioritizes nodes that are likely to lead to the goal node, making the search process more efficient.
