# Quiz [[quiz]]
The best way to learn and [to avoid the illusion of competence](https://fr.coursera.org/lecture/learning-how-to-learn/illusions-of-competence-BuFzf) **is to test yourself.** This will help you to find **where you need to reinforce your knowledge**.
### Q1: What are tabular methods?
<details>
<summary>Solution</summary>
*Tabular methods* are a type of problems in which the state and actions spaces are small enough to approximate value functions to be **represented as arrays and tables**. For instance, **Q-Learning is a tabular method** since we use a table to represent the state,action value pairs.

### Q2: Why we can't use a classical Q-Learning to solve an Atari Game?
<Question
choices={[
{
text: "Atari environments are too fast for Q-Learning",
explain: ""
},
{
text: "Atari environments have a big observation space. So creating an updating the Q-Table would not be efficient",
explain: "",
correct: true
}
]}
/>
### Q3: Why do we stack four frames together when we use frames as input in Deep Q-Learning?
<details>
<summary>Solution</summary>
We stack frames together because it helps us **handle the problem of temporal limitation**. Since one frame is not enough to capture temporal information.
For instance, in pong, our agent **will be unable to know the ball direction if it gets only one frame**.

### Q4: What are the two phases of Deep Q-Learning?
<Question
choices={[
{
text: "Sampling",
explain: "We perform actions and store the observed experiences tuples in a replay memory.",
correct: true,
},
{
text: "Shuffling",
explain: "",
},
{
text: "Reranking",
explain: "",
},
{
text: "Training",
explain: "We select the small batch of tuple randomly and learn from it using a gradient descent update step.",
correct: true,
}
]}
/>
### Q5: Why do we create a replay memory in Deep Q-Learning?
<details>
<summary>Solution</summary>
**1. Make more efficient use of the experiences during the training**
Usually, in online reinforcement learning, we interact in the environment, get experiences (state, action, reward, and next state), learn from them (update the neural network) and discard them.
But with experience replay, **we create a replay buffer that saves experience samples that we can reuse during the training**.
**2. Avoid forgetting previous experiences and reduce the correlation between experiences**
The problem we get if we give sequential samples of experiences to our neural network is that it **tends to forget the previous experiences as it overwrites new experiences**. For instance, if we are in the first level and then the second, which is different, our agent can forget how to behave and play in the first level.
</details>
### Q6: How do we use Double Deep Q-Learning?
<details>
<summary>Solution</summary>
When we compute the Q target, we use two networks to decouple the action selection from the target Q value generation. We:
- Use our *DQN network* to **select the best action to take for the next state** (the action with the highest Q value).
- Use our *Target network* to calculate **the target Q value of taking that action at the next state**.
