The relabel-to-front heuristic is a clever way to solve problems where you need to find the best path, like a treasure map. Imagine having a list of friends and you keep moving the friend who can help the most to the front of the line until you find the treasure.
Optimization is the process of making a system, design, or decision as effective or functional as possible by adjusting variables to find the best possible solution within given constraints. It is widely used across various fields such as mathematics, engineering, economics, and computer science to enhance performance and efficiency.
