In this chapter, we are going to learn about reinforcement learning. We will discuss the premise of reinforcement learning. We will talk about the differences between reinforcement learning and supervised learning. We will go through some real world examples of reinforcement learning and see how it manifests itself in various forms. We will learn about the building blocks of reinforcement learning and the various concepts involved. We will then create an environment in python to see how it works in practice. We will then use these concepts to build a learning agent.

By the end of this chapter, you will know:

• Understanding the premise
• Reinforcement learning vs. supervised learning
• Real world examples of reinforcement learning
• Building blocks of reinforcement learning
