And that's basically trying to make sure our program has not regressed, as to say, gone backwards in how well it works. And so we always test it on everything.

这只是从根本上确保,我们的程序并没往后退，也就是说在可用性方面倒退了,因此我们在任何东西上,都要进行这样的测试。

What I mean by that is, pick a simple set of values, and let's walk through it to see what happens. And this is useful because it's going to allow me to A make sure that I've got something that's going to terminate, it's going to let me make sure that in fact I'm doing the right kinds of updates.

原因你们知道的，好，模拟代码,我的意思就是,选出一系列的值来,然后模拟下代码的执行来看看结果,这很有用因为这让我确保我的程序在某个地方,可以终止，还会让我确保实际上我。

And those are two things that you'd like to do with every looping construct you write: you'd like to be able to assure yourself that they will always terminate, and then the second thing you'd like to do, is to assure yourself that it does give you back a reasonable answer.

就是现在我有了能去检查程序,是不是做了正确的操作的能力：,这就是你们在写每个循环程序的时候,都要注意的两个事情：,第一件事情是要确保程序可以终结，第二件你要做的事情,就是要确保程序返回了正确的答案。
