How does the A* search algorithm differ from other search algorithms like Depth-First Search and Breadth-First Search?
- A* combines both the depth-first and breadth-first approaches
- A* considers only the breadth-first approach
- A* considers only the depth-first approach
- A* has no similarities with Depth-First and Breadth-First Search
A* search algorithm differs from others by combining elements of both depth-first and breadth-first approaches. It uses a heuristic to guide the search, unlike the purely blind search of Depth-First and Breadth-First Search.
