I keep hearing about reinforcement learning in AI. Can someone explain how it works and give a real-world example in just a few lines?

Reinforcement Learning is a type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment. It gets rewards for good actions and penalties for bad ones. Over time, it learns the best strategies to achieve goals, similar to how humans learn from experience and feedback.

Reinforcement Learning refers to a form of machine learning in which a computer learns by experimenting and receiving feedback. It will receive rewards on good and punishment on bad actions and this will assist it in determining how to attain a goal by trial and error as time goes by.
