hill climbing
Walking up slopes
Hill climbing is a problem-solving method that moves toward improvement step by step, like ascending a slope by always stepping upward.
In optimization and artificial intelligence, a hill-climbing algorithm evaluates neighboring solutions and selects whichever is best, repeating until no better option exists.
The limitation is getting stuck at local peaks—points that seem optimal nearby but aren't the best overall: The algorithm kept hill climbing to the same suboptimal solution.
