* A solution to a Markov decision process is called a policy. It
* specifies what the agent should do for any state that the agent might reach.
* It is traditional to denote a policy by π, and π(s) is the action
* recommended by the policy π for state s. If the agent has a complete
* policy, then no matter what the outcome of any action, the agent will always
* know what to do next.
*
* @param
* the state type.
* @param
* the action type.
