And the third thing I need to decide is how do I combine? You know, point out to you in the binary search case, combination was trivial. The answer to the final search was just the answer all the way up.

第三个问题是我需要决定如何进行合并？,就你们所知的，在二分查找中所打印出来的,合并的过程是非常简单的,最后查询的结果,就是一路上来所以的结果。

Notice here that it's different than the binary search case. We're certainly dividing down, but the combination now actually takes some work. I'll have to actually figure out how to put them back together. And that's a general thing you want to keep in mind when you're thinking about designing a divide and conquer kind of algorithm.

一个分治的例子,注这里，与二分查找所不同的地方,我们肯定是分解了,但是合并的过程还是需要一些工作量的,我会详细说明怎样把它们合并在一起的,当你在考虑设计一个分治算法时,这是你要必须记住的最基本的东西。
