We want to create data types and functions, or we're going to call them methods, that are specifically aimed at manipulating those kinds of objects.

它们是特定的,用来操作那些对象的，我们的目标基本上来说，就是会去看看怎么去构建,能利用这种模块话。

And if you think about it, associated with each - one of those data types is a set of functions it's intended to apply to.

你会发现每个类型都有，与之对应的一个集合的操作,有的时候这些操作,有的时候某个操作可以,应用于多种数据类型。

And those are four of the data types we've discussed thus far.

这是我们到现在为止学习了的四个数据类型。

We want to do the same thing, but with our data types.

我们想要创建数据类型和函数，或者我们会叫他们方法。

Well basically what we're doing is we're giving ourselves the ability to create data types the same way that we have some built-ins, so we have things like int, float, string, these are built-in data types.

就是要赋值我们自己创建,和内置的数据类型,相同的数据类型的能力,我们有一些内置的数据类型，如int，float，string等，如果你考虑下这些数据类型。

Sometimes the functions -- sometimes a function can be used on multiple data types, plus, for example, we saw could add strings, or could add ints, but each one of those data types has associated with it a set of functions that are geared to handling them.

比如说，我们可以对string类型,进行add操作,也可以对int类型进行这个操作，但是这些数据类型中的每一种，都与适合于操作它们的,方法集相关联,我们想对我们创建的数据,类型做同样的事情。

But one of the teaching fellas also passed long to us recently, a little real world example of what happens when you're not mindful of various data types and you're not mindful of the imprecision that's inherent in representing data in a computer, at least using a language like C and low level primitives like floats and even doubles.

最近有个助教告诉我们，一个现实世界中的例子,当你不注意各种各样的数据类型,也不注意在计算机中表示数据时,其内在的不精确性，至少在用像C语言,和float甚至double型数据时，那将会发生什么？
