What is KNN?
K-Nearest Neighbors is one of the simplest supervised machine learning algorithms used for classification. It classifies a data point based on its neighbors’ classifications. It stores all available cases and classifies new cases based on similar features.

When Do We Use the KNN Algorithm?
The KNN algorithm is used in the following scenarios:
✅Data is labeled
✅Data is noise-free
✅Dataset is small, as KNN is a lazy learner

Pros and Cons of Using KNN
✅Pros: Since the KNN algorithm requires no training before making predictions, new data can be added seamlessly, which will not impact the accuracy of the algorithm.
KNN is very easy to implement. There are only two parameters required to implement KNN—the value of K and the distance function (e.g. Euclidean, Manhattan, etc.)
✅Cons: The KNN algorithm does not work well with large datasets. The cost of calculating the distance between the new point and each existing point is huge, which degrades performance.
Feature scaling (standardization and normalization) is required before applying the KNN algorithm to any dataset. Otherwise, KNN may generate wrong predictions.

✅KNN Algorithm Uses in Real World
In the real world, the KNN algorithm has applications for both classification and regression problems. KNN is widely used in almost all industries, such as healthcare, financial services, eCommerce, political campaigns, etc. Healthcare companies use the KNN algorithm to determine if a patient is susceptible to certain diseases and conditions. Financial institutions predict credit card ratings or qualify loan applications and the likelihood of default with the help of the KNN algorithm.
