Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Algorithms are step-by-step procedures that always lead to a correct solution or result. On the other hand, heuristics are shortcuts or rules-of-thumb that may not always guarantee the correct answer or solution. Although algorithms may take longer to execute, they provide a high level of accuracy and reliability.
