Well, what's nice about this program is that there's just one function, main, so we don't need to draw the stack and get things all complicated.

这个程序的优点是,这里只有一个函数main，这样我们就不需要,画出堆，也不用那么复杂。

I'm checking that I didn't leave my program because I didn't find an answer. Well this is a good thing, it's better than my program running forever, but it's a bad thing because I don't have it the square root of 0.25.

我对计数器要做个验证,因为我不会没得到答案就退出程序,好，这其实是个好事,因为它不会让我的程序永远跑下去，但这也是件坏事因为,我没得到0。25的平方根。

So here is the simplest program which is perhaps an ironic statement that you can implement with this language called C. So it takes a few lines of code to actually get something up and running and as you'll recall last Friday, I didn't even get this up and running because part of the process of writing a program is to one, write it.

让我们回到这个最简单的程序,你们也许觉得啼笑皆非，这么简单的例子,用C语言写出来就可以了嘛，的确只需要几行代码,就可以让这个程序跑起来,就像上周五的那样，我之所以没让它跑起来,因为编程步骤之一,就是“写“
