All Known Implementing Classes:

AstarSearchAlgorithm
```
public interface SearchAlgorithm
```
An interface for defining generic node search algorithms. NOTE: Implementations of this interface should override Object.toString() with the name of the algorithm. e.g. "A*", "Dijkstra", "Best-First", "D* Lite"

- Method Detail
  - findPath
```
Path findPath(Node startNode,
              Node goalNode)
```
    Method accepts a start node and a goal node, and returns a path consisting of a collection of waypoints which includes the startNode coordinates as the first waypoint, and the goal node coordinates as the final waypoint. Note: The startNode must be connected with other nodes (neighbors) that eventually connect to the goalNode.
    
    Parameters:
    
    startNode -
    
    goalNode -
    
    Returns:
    
    A collection of waypoints. Returns null if it fails to find a path.
