I want to show you how easy it is to change the code. But, notice, once I've added this I actually have a problem. This is now an under-constrained problem. I have more unknowns than I have equations.

我加上这个条件后,我马上面临一个问题了,这就是现在是一个非约束性问题了,我的未知数比方程数多,你从代数中可以知道。

That's an important observation, and as we get to the part of the course we talk about computational complexity, you'll see that what we really care about is not how efficient the program is on easy problems but how efficient it is on hard problems.

我们已经学习了这门课程的一部分了，我们要开始认识到,计算的复杂度这个概念，你会学习到我们在乎的并不是,算法在简单问题上的工作效率,而是解决复杂问题的效率。
