Which is better for pathfinding: greedy search vs BFS? Pros and cons? or Greedy search vs BFS—when wo

Greedy search is the "hold my beer" of algorithms—fast, reckless, and sometimes brilliant. BFS is the "measure twice, cut once" approach.

For coding interviews, know both. LeetCode has problems where greedy search vs BFS is the *entire* difference between passing and timing out.

But irl? Hybrids like A* are where it’s at.
