To do that, we need to describe: not only, what are the primitives, but how do we capture things legally in that language, and interact with the computer?

为了达到这个目的，我们需要描述：,包括程序基本的东西，以及怎么在这种语言中，做我们想做的事情并和计算机交互？

I was deciding between political science at the time and computer science because I have always been fascinated by cities and at some point want to maybe potentially go into government I'm still not quite sure if I have more effect there or more effect in programming.

我那时要在政治学和,计算机科学,中做出选择，因为,我一直为城市着迷,我潜意识里有些想去政府工作,我并不确定我以后在,政治上更有成就还是在编程上更有成就。

So the enrollment numbers are in and we thought we would share some statistics, as we like to do in this course; being computer scientists, we tend to gather lots of data.

登记加入我们的人数在这里,并且我们觉得我们能分享一些统计资料，我们在这次课程中也喜欢这么做，作为计算机科学家，我们要收集很多数据。

But for those of you who decide to go on in computer science realize there is a whole interesting world that uses details like these in the world of networking, in hardware, to actually solve some real world problems.

而对于你们中想要在计算机科学,方面有所发展的人，将会遇到一个非常有趣的领域,在那个世界里，会有许多像网络世界，硬件界,这样或那样的小细节，但又往往是这些小细节才解决了许多真实世界里的问题。

So now, in this case, this code is going to, when we get here, check, and if you haven't seen that strange thing there, that exclamation point in bang computer-ese called a bang, it says x if ANS star ANS is not equal to x, all right?

那么现在，在这个例子中，当我们执行到这里，代码会去检查,如果你没有看到过这个奇怪的东西,这个感叹号在计算机学中被叫做,代码的意思是如果ANS的平方不等于？

D-A-V-I-D Well, if I've got a five-letter word like D-A-V-I-D, well, that's like five bytes and yet we only have the ability thus far in this class to return one thing at a time I can't return five bytes to you, but wait a minute, those bytes by nature of a computer are just stored in RAM.

好的，如果有5个字母的单词，如，那是5个字节,我们只能返回一个东西,而不能返回5个字节，等一下，这些字节被计算机本能地,存储在内存中。

Now, unlike high school math or in algebra Z where you call things X and Y and Z, in programming, in computer science, you're actually dealing with humans where it's useful to have a variable name that's more descriptive than X and Y and Z.

不像高中数学或者代数中,称为X和Y和，在程序设计和计算机科学里，你实际上是在和人打交道,在这里有个描述性比xyz更强的,变量名称是很重要的。

But one of the teaching fellas also passed long to us recently, a little real world example of what happens when you're not mindful of various data types and you're not mindful of the imprecision that's inherent in representing data in a computer, at least using a language like C and low level primitives like floats and even doubles.

最近有个助教告诉我们，一个现实世界中的例子,当你不注意各种各样的数据类型,也不注意在计算机中表示数据时,其内在的不精确性，至少在用像C语言,和float甚至double型数据时，那将会发生什么？
