Our temperature probably fluctuates during the day a little bit anyways, it's not very accurate. And similarly, the boiling point, defining that at a 100 degrees Celsius well that depends on the pressure.

这就不太精确,我们的体温一天之中，会有高低的变化，这一定义不够精确,类似的,我们把水的沸点定义为。

But one of the teaching fellas also passed long to us recently, a little real world example of what happens when you're not mindful of various data types and you're not mindful of the imprecision that's inherent in representing data in a computer, at least using a language like C and low level primitives like floats and even doubles.

最近有个助教告诉我们，一个现实世界中的例子,当你不注意各种各样的数据类型,也不注意在计算机中表示数据时,其内在的不精确性，至少在用像C语言,和float甚至double型数据时，那将会发生什么？
