Nearest neighbor heuristic Select the locally superior alternative at each step n! → n 2 : number of different paths among the n cities=(n-1)! ① Select a starting city ② To select the next city. Check the all cities not yet visited, and select the one close-set to the current city. Go to it next ③ Repeat ② until all cities have been visited.
