What does spaces.Discrete mean in OpenAI Gym

题意：在OpenAI Gym的上下文中，spaces.Discrete 是指什么

问题背景：

I try to learn MC- Monte Carlo Method applied in blackjack using openAI Gym. And I do not understand these lines:

我尝试使用OpenAI Gym学习蒙特卡洛方法（Monte Carlo Method，简称MC）在黑杰克（Blackjack）游戏中的应用。但我不理解这些代码行/概念/部分：

def __init__(self, natural=False):
    self.action_space = spaces.Discrete(2)
    self.observation_space = spaces.Tuple((
        spaces.Discrete(32),
        spaces.Discrete(11),
        spaces.Discrete(2)))
    self.seed()

问题解决：

The observation space and the action space has been defined in the comments here

这里的注释中已经定义了观察空间（observation space）和动作空间（action space）

Observation Space:        观察空间

The observation of a 3-tuple of: the player's current sum,
the dealer's one showing card (1-10 where 1 is ace),
and whether or not the player holds a usable ace (0 or 1).

eg: (14, 9, False) means the current sum is 14, card shown is 9 and there is no usable ace(because ace can be used as 1 or 11)

Action Space:        动作空间

The player can request additional cards (hit=1) until they decide to stop
(stick=0) or exceed 21 (bust).

Discrete spaces are used when we have a discrete action/observation space to be defined in the environment. So spaces.Discrete(2) means that we have a discrete variable which can take one of the two possible values.

当我们需要在环境中定义离散的动作/观察空间时，就会使用离散空间。因此，spaces.Discrete(2) 意味着我们有一个离散变量，它可以取两个可能值中的任意一个。

In the Blackjack environment,        在 Blackjack 环境中

self.action_space = spaces.Discrete(2)
# here spaces.Discrete(2) means that action can either be True or False.

self.observation_space = spaces.Tuple((
        spaces.Discrete(32),
        spaces.Discrete(11),
        spaces.Discrete(2)))
# here spaces.Discrete(32) corresponds to the 32 possible sum of card number possible
# here spaces.Discrete(11) corresponds to the 11 possible cards which can be dealed
# by the dealer: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10(king,queen,jack),11(ace if possible)]
# here spaces.Discrete(2) corresponds to the two possible uses of the ace: [True, False]
# True if it can be used as 11.
