So this is very similar, this is a kind of recursive thinking we talked about earlier, where we take our problem and we make it smaller we solve a smaller problem, et cetera.

我们则跳过比猜想数小的那个区间,然后我们重复这一过程,跟之前我们讲过的，递归思想非常类似,我们解决问题的时候,先把问题一步步变小，然后解决小问题。

It's probably among the most useful ideas there is for solving complicated problems.

这大概是解决复杂问题,最有用的思想之一。

But can I borrow that idea of taking a problem and dividing it into something smaller.

但是我可以借鉴解决这个问题的思想并将其划分为,更小的问题。

All right. So it's fun, and I got a little bit of applause out of it, which is always nice for me, but I also showed you how to think about it recursively.

好，挺有趣的，我也得到了一点掌声，这让我挺高兴的，但是我想让大家明白,怎么用迭代的思想来解决这个问题。
