"""Multistep reward transform.
Presented in
| Sutton, R. S. 1988. Learning to predict by the methods of temporal differences. Machine learning 3(1):9–44.
This module maps the "next" observation to the t + n "next" observation.
It is an identity transform whenever :attr:`n_steps` is 0.
Args:
gamma (float): Discount factor for return computation
n_steps (integer): maximum look-ahead steps.
.. note:: This class is meant to be used within a ``DataCollector``.
It will only treat the data passed to it at the end of a collection,
and ignore data preceding that collection or coming in the next batch.
As such, results on the last steps of the batch may likely be biased
by the early truncation of the trajectory.
To mitigate this effect, please use :class:`~torchrl.envs.transforms.MultiStepTransform`
within the replay buffer instead.
Examples:
>>> from torchrl.collectors import SyncDataCollector, RandomPolicy
>>> from torchrl.data.postprocs import MultiStep
>>> from torchrl.envs import GymEnv, TransformedEnv, StepCounter
>>> env = TransformedEnv(GymEnv("CartPole-v1"), StepCounter())
>>> env.set_seed(0)
>>> collector = SyncDataCollector(env, policy=RandomPolicy(env.action_spec),
... frames_per_batch=10, total_frames=2000, postproc=MultiStep(n_steps=4, gamma=0.99))
>>> for data in collector:
... break
>>> print(data["step_count"])
tensor([[0],
[1],
[2],
[3],

Args:

The TensorDict must contain a ``("next", "reward")`` and
``("next", "done")`` keys.
All keys that are contained within the "next" nested tensordict
will be shifted by (at most) :attr:`~.n_steps` frames.
The TensorDict will also be updated with new key-value pairs:
- gamma: indicating the discount to be used for the next
reward;
- nonterminal: boolean value indicating whether a step is
non-terminal (not done or not last of trajectory);
- original_reward: previous reward collected in the
environment (i.e. before multi-step);
- The "reward" values will be replaced by the newly computed
rewards.
The ``"done"`` key can have either the shape of the tensordict
OR the shape of the tensordict followed by a singleton
dimension OR the shape of the tensordict followed by other
dimensions. In the latter case, the tensordict *must* be
compatible with a reshape that follows the done shape (ie. the
leading dimensions of every tensor it contains must match the
shape of the ``"done"`` entry).
The ``"reward"`` tensor can have either the shape of the
tensordict (or done state) or this shape followed by a singleton
dimension.

in-place transformation of the input tensordict.
