And so when you start to poke around the puzzle pieces, you see that it can say things, we'll see movement in just a moment and sound and so forth, but at the end of the day, this is just like the program we used a moment ago for the sock exercise where we just hold Philip a step after step after step, do this, do this, do that, and yet, here too, we already see an opportunity for that thing we called the loop.

如果你认真看下这些拼图，你会发现它都是一些移动，并发出声音的功能块,就像我刚才的,练习程序一样,我们让飞利浦做这个动作，做那个动作，跟这里的情况一样，我们已经看到了称为循环的东西。

At the end of the day, you can implement the exact same program using a while loop that you can using a for loop, it's just your code is going to look slightly different.

最终，你可以执行这个程序,再使用for循环的地方使用while循环，这只是使你的代码看起来稍微有点不同。

And conceptually, the idea of cubing a value feels like you could package that up into a little box, a little tool that takes input, a value, and returns output the answer A* so you don't have to constantly do A star, A*A So this program ,at the end of today, is pretty much the same thing.

概念上，算一个值的立方就像是,你可以把一个值打包放在一个小盒子里,一个用来接收输入的工具,一个值，然后返回一个答案,所以你并不需要一直使用，等等。，A，star，，A，，and，so，forth。,这个程序，最后，是一个差不多的东西。
