YouTube Video Review: Hill Climbing Algorithm in Artificial Intelligence

In an attempt to improve upon my programming skills, I am always on the lookout for videos and courses that I can take to help me to hone the skills that I do possess. I have found a short video that discusses the hill walking algorithm and decided to watch the video and then to review it.

One thing that I liked best about the prospect of reviewing this video entitled, “Hill Climbing in Artificial Intelligence”, was the fact that the presenter was also going to give a demonstration of the hill walking algorithm in Python, which is something that I was keen to learn. When I watched the video and transcribed the code into Google Colab, the free on-line interpreter I use, I found it did not work.

In an attempt to get the code to work, I stumbled across a website and tried out the code presented in that website, and sadly that code did not really work either.

I decided to try out a third website and I was third time lucky, as the code worked and I also read a concise description of how the hill walking algorithm script works.

Because the code in this YouTube video did not work, I decided to carry out a code review of the working code, which can be found at the end of this YouTube Video Review:-
