OK? And in fact, if you look at the code up here, and it's on your handout, the very first one, x 1, right here- if I could ask you to look at it-- is a piece of code to do it. And I'm less interested in the code than how we're going to analyze it, but let's look at it for a second.

实际上，如果你看看,你们课堂发的材料上面的代码，第一页上的，就是那-,大家请看看实现的这一部分代码,我不太关心,我们会怎么解释这个代码,首先让我们先看看。

让我做一下准备,想象一下我要调用sqrt或者-,不，我会调用sqrt函数,这是我在这里用的名字，我得把这段代码到处复制。
