Hill climbing is an optimization algorithm that belongs to the family of local search methods. It is often used in artificial intelligence and computer science to find a solution to problems by iteratively making incremental changes to a solution and selecting the best one available. The process can be thought of as climbing a hill: the algorithm starts at a given point (a solution) and explores neighboring points (solutions) in the solution space.
