Remarks

A2C is a synchronous version of A3C that is simpler and often more sample-efficient. It combines policy gradients with value function learning for stable, efficient training.

For Beginners: A2C learns two things simultaneously: - **Actor (Policy)**: What action to take in each state - **Critic (Value Function)**: How good each state is

The critic helps the actor learn faster by providing better feedback than just rewards alone. Think of the critic as a coach giving targeted advice rather than just "good" or "bad".

A2C is the foundation for many modern RL algorithms including PPO.
