We're going to be counting the number of basic steps it takes to solve the problem.

我们还要去数着,解决问题的的基本步骤有多少。

Now I'm putting count in double quotes, not to make it a string, but to say, this is count generically. It could be counting one by one through the integers, it could also be taking a collection of data and going through them one by one. It could be doing counting in some other mechanism.

现在我把count用双引号标起来，不是说把它命名为一个字符串，而是说，这是一个通用的计数器,它可能是每一次减1的整数,也可能是拿一个集合的数据然后,一个一个的访问它们,也可能是以某种机制来计数。

And so in theory after just 2 or 3 steps you were in order of magnitude farther along in this counting process than I would be because I'd still be on person literally 3 or 4.

因此从理论上说,经过这样短短的两三个步骤,你们就有了分级次序，比我数数快多了,因为我才数到第三四个人。

Most censuses were taken, by the way, as a way of counting heads, the number of people who had to be fed at the time of a siege.

顺便提一下,大多数人口普查,都采用数人头的方法,即在围城期间统计需要给养多少人口

And remind you that inside of here, I'd better be changing the variable. All right, if that variable that's counting is not changing I'm going to be stuck in an infinite loop, so I ought to that, right, expect somewhere in there, a change of that variable. All right?

我最好改变了计数器的变量值，好，如果计数的变量没有变化的话，我就会被卡在一个无限循环里面,因此我应该【不可闻的声音】,对，在这里的某个地方，改变下计数器的变量，对不对？我要做的最后一件事情就是？
