考虑，举个例子，怎么写一个算法执行线性搜索一个区域。

Consider, for example, how to write an algorithm that performs linear search through a range.

流程中的三个步骤将实现为服务，基于单个订单请求的执行线性流就定义了此业务流程。

The three steps in the process would be implemented as services, and the linear flow of execution based on a single order request defines the business process.

youdao

这部机器只能以精确的线性顺序执行它接收到的操作指令。

It could only perform operations in the precise linear order it received instructions.

youdao

Right? You can see that this ought to be linear, because what am I doing?

这个算法应该是线性复杂度的，因为这个算法是怎么执行的呢？

Now this happens to be what we would call a linear process, because the number of times I go around the loop is directly related to the size of the argument. If I double 2 the argument, I'm going to double the number of times I go around the loop. If I increase it by five, 5 I'm going to increase by five the number of times I go around the loop.

这恰好是我们会成为,线性复杂度程序的一个例子,因为我要执行循环的次数是,和输入的参数的大小直接相关的,如果我将这个参数乘以,那么我就要将进行循环的次数也乘以2了，如果我把参数加上,那么循环的次数也要加上5了。
