{wiki=Greedy_algorithms}
Greedy algorithms are a class of algorithms used for solving optimization problems by making a series of choices that are locally optimal at each step, with the hope of finding a global optimum. The key characteristic of a greedy algorithm is that it chooses the best option available at the moment, without considering the long-term consequences. \#\#\# Characteristics of Greedy Algorithms: 1. **Local Optimal Choice**: At each step, the algorithm selects the most beneficial option based on a specific criterion.
