Knowing that, I'm going to say, OK, how many pigs are there, well that's just how we're, however many I had total, minus that amount, and then I can see, how many legs does that give, and then I can check, that the number of legs that I would get for that solution, is it even equal to the number of legs I started with, ah! Interesting. A return.

这只是在提醒你们我们要仔细的思考问题,但是当我们在讨论复杂性的时候,我们到底要衡量哪些东西？,是列表的大小和对其进行查找的频率吗？,这里面临一些取舍,但是我还没有说明,怎样得到一个n，log，n复杂度的排序算法,并且这是我今天想要讲的内容。
