with the continuous knapsack problem as we've formulated it, greedy is good.

因为正如我们已经归越过的,对于一般连续性背包问题贪婪算法很实用。

We saw some quadratic algorithms, typically those are things with multiple nested loops, or iterative or recursive calls, where you're doing, say, a linear amount of time but you're doing it a linear number of times and so it becomes quadratic, and you'll see other polynomial kinds of algorithms.

我们看过一些平方算法，他们一般进行了多次嵌套循环,或者递归迭代调用，对一个线性操作调用线性次,这样就变成平方次了,以后你们能看到,一些多项式算法。
