hillclimbing
Steep slope motorsport
Hillclimbing is a motorsport where vehicles race individually up a steep, winding course, competing for the fastest time rather than racing head-to-head.
In computing and optimization, hillclimbing is an algorithm that iteratively improves a solution by making small changes, always moving toward better results—like climbing upward until no higher point can be reached.
Also spelled hill climbing or hill-climbing.
