What is A-Star |A* First Search?


A*or A-star is an the algorithm in which we traverse the graph and search for the best shortest path from the start vertex to goal, ex:  Google Map,  it is the combination of both BFS and Best search algorithm,
To calculate the best-shorted path we do use weight (Heuristic Value) and cost of the path.

A heuristic Value is a rough guess that's used when the actual information isn't available

A*or A-star algorithm is often used in computer science due to its completeness,  optimal efficiency, and guaranteed result.

In spite of one major practical drawback is its space complexity, as it stores all generated nodes in its memory, but it is the most successful search algorithms to find the shortest path between vertexes.
