Any mental shortcut that allows for easier problem solving and quicker judgment
Example: How can you use heuristics to rearrange these letters?
E U E Q N
Heuristics
![Page 21: Agenda – Tuesday, March 18 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816271550346895dd2e249/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Heuristic: You know the Q and U go together because of something you’ve already learned and stored in your mind
Algorithm: Try all 60 combinations of the letters to find a “correct” one
EUENQ, EUNEQ, EUQNE, EUNQU, etc.
Heuristic
