Java Program to Implement Uniform-Cost Search

This Java program,Implements Uniform Cost Search.In computer science, uniform-cost search (UCS) is a tree search algorithm used for traversing or searching a weighted tree, tree structure, or graph. The search begins at the root node. The search continues by visiting the next node which has the least total cost from the root. Nodes are visited in this manner until a goal state is reached.

Here is the source code of the Java program implements uniform cost search. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
