So we'll talk a bit more about this idea of functions today, but, get int, again, can think of it as a black box, whose purpose in life is to prompt the human for input and pester the human if he or she doesn't actually give it int, but then once it has that, has entered it from the user, it's quote unquote, returns it to you.

所以我们进今天将多讨论点这个函数的概念，但是，GetInt，我们可以把它当做一个黑盒子，它的唯一目的是提示人们来输入,并且如果他或她没有,给它int数，则会纠缠用户，但是一旦它得到了，用户输入的int数，对输入进行引用，返回给你。

I mean what if you're running so many things, what if the user has copied and pasted their thesis and just pasted it at the blinking prompt such that you're now out of memory because your computer is somewhat limited in memory so get string cannot possibly return all those characters or fit all of those characters in memory and return to you the address of the first.

如果你运行了很多程序，假使用户复制粘贴了他们的论文,只是粘贴在光标提示符那里,这样就出现了内存不足,因为你们的计算机的内存是有限的,所以GetString不可能返回所有的字符,或者保存这些字符到内存中,并且返回第一个字符的地址。
