Heuristic Searches

This module contains functions to perform a* search and ao* search algorithms

Installation

Run the following command to install:

    pip install heuristicsearch

Useage

from heuristicsearch.a_star_search import AStar
from heuristicsearch.ao_star import AOStar
# object creation Astar(adjacency_list -> dictionary, heuristic_values -> dicitonary)
# call the apply_a_star method to find the shortest path
adjacency_list = {
    'A': [('B', 1), ('C', 3), ('D', 7)],
    'B': [('D', 5)],
    'C': [('D', 12)]
}

heuristics = {'A':1, 'B':1, 'C':1, 'D':1}

graph1 = AStar(adjacency_list, heuristics)
graph1.apply_a_star(start='A',stop='B')
# similar approach for AOStar
# object creation AOStar(adjacency_list -> dictionary, heuristic_values -> dicitonary, startNode)
# call apply_AOStar method
