Which means, next time through the loop, that's going to pop out and return an answer.

循环会跳出并返回这个答案，如果不相等的话。

Just to remind you what it does, we bound x to some value, we set up an initial variable called ANS or answer, answer and then we run through a little loop.

记住你要做些什么，我们给x赋一个值,我们建立一个初始变量，命名为ANS或者。

So first time through the loop, the answer is a. Second time it-sorry, as it enters the loop, at the time it enter exits a the answer is a.

当第一次完成循环的时候，答案是a，第二次，对不起，在第一次进入循环的时候,答案就是。

All right, we're-- well actually, I should say that better, we first check to see, is x 0 greater than or equal to zero, if it's not, then we come down here and we print something out, otherwise we run through a little loop to get the answer, and then we check it and we spit something out.

然后我们运行一个小循环,好了，我们现在来看看,如果x≥0或者x＜,我们看这儿,我们会输出一些内容,或者我们运行一个小循环来获取答案,然后我们检验一下，然后得到结果。

b times. So I've got to go 3 b steps. All right I've got to go through the loop b times I've got three steps each time, and then when I pop out of the loop, I've got two more steps. All right I've got the initiation of answer and the return of it.

好，我一共执行了b次循环,每次循环内部进行了三次基本操作,当跳出循环后还有两个基本操作，因此这个初始的答案就是,2+3b次基本操作,来完成这个循环。
