What is Best_Method.p?

It’s a pretrained model that I made by running the program for a long time. If you replace the q_table with that it will solve the problem in a close to optimal way. Uncomment the pickle.load instead of method.train() to load it in.

To be more specific it's a pickle file which is a way to save out and load in python data structures. In general its a easy way to save python data, but you shouldn't run pickles from code you don't trust as they could contain anything. If this was production code you would want to write code to serialize the data in a more safe way.

Ha... That's interesting. So it contains what? The "optimal" parameters for solving the problem? This is my first time seeing it, entirely unfamiliar with it.

Its just the values in the q_table after I trained it for an hour or so. Looking at it i don't think it's possible to solve the problem significantly faster, but they're not optimal per se.

the output of training a Q Learning method would be the q table which is a model of what actions should be taken at various states.
