8 Puzzle Problem in AI

The 8-puzzle problem in AI is a sliding puzzle consisting of a 3x3 grid with 8 numbered tiles and one empty space. The objective is to move the tiles around to achieve a specific goal configuration, typically arranging the numbers in ascending order.

This problem is a classic example of state-space search, where each configuration of the grid is a state, and the challenge is to find the shortest sequence of moves (using algorithms like A* or BFS) from an initial state to the goal state. It demonstrates concepts like heuristics, pathfinding, and problem-solving in AI.
