lua: Learning Official Doc notes

dynamically typed vars:

basic types: nil, boolean, number, string, function, userdata, thread & table.

where nil has only one value, is mainly to differ from other types. absense of useful info

bool: false & true. so false & nil are both make a conditional false

number: int & floating point, 2 subtypes, rules to when to use which. also converting automatically, standard lua use 64-bit num. but can re-compile lua to use 32bit. (see luaconf.h

string: immutable sequence of bytes, containing all info in 8-bit value. encoding-agnostic (nice !

calling functions written in lua/c.

userdata: store any c data. raw memory. 2 kinds of userdata: full userdata: object; light userdata: pointer value. this type of data has no predefined ops, only to assign or identity test. It cannot be created or modifiied in lua. only through C api. guarentees the integrity. But using metatables, user can define ops for full userdata.

thread: represents independent threads of execution and used to implement coroutines. its not same as os‘s threads... coroutines are supported on all systems. even on no thread systems..

table: assoc. arrays. map? yes. with tables, arrays can be indexed through values other than numbers, but not nil or NaN. where NaN is actually number typed and to represent INF. but the key value can be anything except nil.. pathetic.. and conversely.. very odd.. any key not belonging to a table has an associated value nil. a.name is equal to a["name"]. -- syntax sugar

sequence

concept: equal without metamethods.. a.i, a.j refer to the same obj iff. i, j EWM. however, a.2 and a.2.0 refer to the same obj.. because float value which is actually a int will be automatically convert to the int.. so a.2.0 is actually a.2 .. table fields can be of any type.. including functions, tables can carry methods

tables, functions, threads, full userdata values are objs and refer to the address where locates. functions manipulate these refs only return the refer to these values, not modifying

function: type(), this returns a string describing the type of value..

Reinforcement Learning 对于控制决策问题的解决思路:设计一个回报函数(reward function),如果learning agent(如上面的四足机器人.象棋AI程序)在决定一步后,获得了较好的结果,那么我们给agent一些回报(比如回报函数结果为正),得到较差的结果,那么回报函数为负.比如,四足机器人,如果他向前走了一步(接近目标),那么回报函数为正,后退为负.如果我们能够对每一步进行评价,得到相应的回报函数,那么就好办了,我们只需要找到一条回报值最大的路径(每步的回

LUA Learning Note 6: 元表与元方法

--元表:是用来存放无方法的一个table. --table和userdata可以各种拥有独立的元表. 但是,其他类型的值就只能共享其类型所属的元表,比如,数字,所有的数字都共用一个元表. --元方法:用来进行table 类型变量进行特殊操作的一个方法. --Lua其实已经规定好了各种算术操作符的元方法名字:_add,_sub,_mul,_div,_unm,_mod,_pow. --使用步骤: -- 创建一个元表     local mt = {};     mt.__add = functio
