And you can write your source code in it but to compile something you don't run a command like GCC and then the name of the file, you instead click a button.

你们可以在上面写源代码,如果要编译的话，不用像GCC这样要输入命令，文件名,只需点击按钮就可以了。

Computing square root. I'm going to capture it in a piece of code, I'm going to be able to refer to it by a name, and I'm going to suppress the details, meaning inside of that computation, you don't need to know what it does. You just need to know, if I give it the right kind of input, it'll give me back an input that satisfies the contract that I set up.

比如计算平方根,我会用一段代码来说明,我将给它命名,并且忽略细节,意思就是在这一段计算过程中,你不用知道它做了什么，你只需知道，如果我进行了正确的输入,它将会给我符合条件的输出。

to do sqrt, or square root-- no, I'm going to square root use sqrt, that's the name I'm using here-- square root a hundred different places in some piece of code. Without function, I'd have to copy that piece of code everywhere.

让我做一下准备,想象一下我要调用sqrt或者-,不，我会调用sqrt函数,这是我在这里用的名字，我得把这段代码到处复制。

Why is this much nice? Well, that's a handy piece of code. Because imagine I've got that now, and I can now store that away in some file name, input dot p y, and import into every one of my procedure functions, pardon me, my files of procedures, because it's a standard way of now giving me the input.

为什么这样很好呢？,这是一段很好用的代码,因为想象下如果我有了这段代码,我能把它用某个文件名保存起来,后缀是。py，导入到所有的处理函数中,抱歉，我的处理文件,因为这是一个标准的输入方法。
