"I advise you to go back and search the apartment again," he said.

All right? I don't care what's in there, but just assume that's my list. And just to remind you, on your handout, and there it is on the screen, I'm going to bring it back up, there's the little binary search algorithm.

好，我不管列表里是什么，就假定那是一个列表,要提醒你们的是,在你们的讲义上和屏幕上，有一个简单的二分查找算法。

And it's called divide and conquer for the obvious reason. I'm going to divide it up into sub-problems with the hope that those sub-problems get easier. It's going to be easier to conquer if you like, and then I'm going to merge them back. Now, in the binary search case, in some sense, this is a little bit trivial.

因此被称为分治的原因就这么简单,将一个问题分解成一些子问题,并希望这些子问题解决起来比较方便,正如你希望的，求解的过程也会变得简单,下面就是把结果合并起来,现在，在二分搜索的例子里,从某些方面来说，这有点微不足道。

All right. If you flip to the second side of your handout, you'll see that I have a piece of code there, that does this-- let me, ah, I didn't want to do that, let me back up slightly- this is the algorithm called search.

你可以看到实现这个功能的代码,让我，额，我不想这么做,让我们回来一点,这就是命名为search的算法-,我们来看看这个算法吧。
