What is the difference between an agent function and an agent program?

  • A.The function is written in code and the program is its documentation
  • B.The function evaluates performance and the program produces actions
  • C.There is no difference; the two terms are used interchangeably
  • D.The function is an abstract mapping and the program implements it

Answer: D

The function describes what the agent does in every possible circumstance, and the program is the finite artefact that computes it within the agent's resources. Two very different programs may implement the same function with different efficiency. Documentation, evaluation and synonymy are not the distinction. Separating what a system should do from how it does it is a principle borrowed from software engineering and it applies here with particular force.
