Question

Metaheuristic - What is the difference between heuristic and metaheuristic?

Answer

Consequently, heuristics are typically issue-dependent; that is, a heuristic is defined in relation to a specific situation. Metaheuristics are generalizable procedures that do not depend on the specific situation at hand. Using a random element as a pivot in Quicksort is an example of a heuristic.
