The minimax algorithm computes the minimax decision from the current state. It uses a simple

recursive computation of the minimax values of each successor state, directly implementing the defining

equations. The recursion proceeds all the way down to the leaves of the tree, and then the minimax

values are backed up through the tree as the recursion unwinds.

b) False
