Alright, so maybe a little underwhelming and we saw already what this program is going to do but let's just go through this process once before we start doing more interesting things and then we'll come back and at least give you a hint of what some of these syntactic details are doing.

好吧，这个程序也许太平庸了，让人印象不够深刻,我们也知道这个程序是干嘛的,在我们开始更有意思的事情之前,让我们再来讨论一下整个过程后再回来,这些语法细节到底是在做什么呢？,先给你们一点小小的提示。

Perhaps more importantly, how to recognize a kind of algorithm based on its properties and know what class it belongs to. This is a hint. If you like, leaning towards the next quiz, that you oughta be able to say that looks like a logarithmic algorithm because it's got a particular property. That looks like an n log n algorithm because it has a particular property.

也许更重要的是,如何根据一个算法的特点将其辨别出来,并且知道它属于哪一类算法,这是一个提示，就对于接下来的测验来说,如果你喜欢你可以说它看起来像一个对数算法,因为它有一个特定的性质,那个看起来像一个n，log，n的算法,因为它有一个特定的性质。
