Heuristic Algorithm provides optional solution

 heuristic methods can be used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution. - False

True,

An algorithm is the description of an automated solution to a problem.

Some problems are hard and you may not be able to get an acceptable solution in an acceptable time. In such cases you often can get a not too bad solution much faster, by applying some arbitrary choices (educated guesses): that's a heuristic.

Best regards

Agree with majority answer option1) TRUE <<<< Thanks

TRUE

Use of Heuristic algorithms is when you use computers and mathematical optimization modelling to arrive at the best possible solution quickly.

But as we know, with computers it is garbage in garbage out.

So unless the mathematical model is properly defined AND given ALL parameter inputs, it can only give an option based on the inputs it receives.

As such Heuristics only proposes an optional solution, which MUST then be evaluated by the user against other solutions for practicality, feasibility and requirement.

Based on my understanding I would say

2) FALSE

A heuristic technique "find" or "discover", sometimes called simply a heuristic, is any approach to problem solving, learning, or discovery that employs a practical methodology not guaranteed to be optimal or perfect, but sufficient for the immediate goals. Where finding an optimal solution is impossible or impractical, heuristic methods can be used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution. Heuristics can be mental shortcuts that ease the cognitive load of making a decision.

I will choose option (1) TRUE
