And an interesting piece of data is that the students reported that one of the primary values that they got out of the course was the opportunity to get to know people throughout the company that it would take them years to get to know on their own.

一个有趣的现象是,学生们报告称,该课程带给他们,最大的收获之一就是,借此机会认识了,全公司的人，而今后,他们会继续加深了解。

So we're to assume we can get to any piece of data, any instruction in constant time, and the second assumption we're going to make is that the basic primitive steps take constant time, same amount of time to compute. Again, not completely true, but it's a good model, so arithmetic operations, comparisons, things of that sort, we're all going to assume are basically in that in that particular model.

因此如果我们假设在恒定的时间内,我们可以取得任何一块数据,任何一种数据结构的话,我们要做的第二个假设就是,基本的原始操作计算花费的时间是恒定的,这个假设也不是完全正确的，但这个模型其实挺不错的，因此算法操作，比较，这一类的事情，我们在这个特定的模型中都假设是基本的,操作，花费的时间是恒定相同的。

Let me first ask you this, is this a reversible or in irreversible process? Right, let me add one more piece of data here which I said in words but which is actually important to write down before doing the problem.

让我先问你们，这是可逆过程,还是不可逆过程？好,让我加上一点简要的,但是很重要的前提,【p1>p2】这是可逆的吗？

The other big piece of available data we have is of course, the program text.

我们可以获得的另外一些数据就是,程序的文本，当你研究程序文本的时候。
