Pathfinding is the process of determining a path from a starting point to a goal or destination point, often while navigating through a grid, graph, or physical space. It is commonly used in various fields, including computer science, robotics, video game development, and artificial intelligence. In a typical pathfinding scenario, an algorithm evaluates different possible paths to find the most efficient or optimal route based on certain criteria, such as distance, time, or cost.
