What is the role of a greedy choice in a greedy algorithm?

The role of a greedy choice in a greedy algorithm is to make the locally optimal choice at each step, with the hope that this will lead to a globally optimal solution. In other words, a greedy choice is made based on the information available at the current step, without considering the potential consequences of that choice on future steps.
