Method Detail

act

int act()

Request that the learner perform an action. Users of the learning algorithm should invoke this method on the learner when they wish to find out which action the learner is currently recommending.

Returns:

An integer representing the action to be taken.

getNumberOfActions

int getNumberOfActions()

Get the number of different possible actions this learner can choose from when it performs an action.

Returns:

An integer value representing the number of actions available.
