सारांश	Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is a population-based swarm intelligence metaheuristic introduced by Karaboga and Basturk in 2007. It models the cooperative foraging behavior of a honey bee colony to search for optimal solutions in continuous numerical optimization problems. The algorithm divides candidate solutions among three bee types — employed, onlooker, and scout — and iteratively refines them through local search and probabilistic selection, making it well-suited for researchers and engineers tackling complex, multimodal optimization landscapes.	Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic algorithm introduced by Marco Dorigo and colleagues in the early 1990s that solves combinatorial optimisation problems by simulating the collective foraging behaviour of ants. Real ants lay pheromone trails on paths and preferentially follow stronger trails; ACO turns this positive-feedback mechanism into a search procedure that finds high-quality solutions to graph-structured problems such as the Travelling Salesman Problem, vehicle routing, and scheduling.	A genetic algorithm (GA) is a population-based metaheuristic optimization method introduced by John Henry Holland (1975) that mimics the principles of natural selection. It maintains a population of candidate solutions and iteratively improves them through selection, crossover, and mutation operators, making it especially powerful on discontinuous, non-convex, and multi-modal search spaces where classical gradient-based methods fail.
