Here I actually need to tell the computer, "Give me some bytes in ram in which to store a value, and that value's going to be a floating point value."

这里我的确需要告诉计算机，“给我一些字节内存,来存储一个值，那个值将是,浮点型的数值“

D-A-V-I-D So when you get a string like D-A-V-I-D, what's really happening is inside your computer's RAM is going a byte where there's some zeros and ones.

譬如你有这么一个字符串，而在你电脑的RAM里将会变成,一个个由0和1组成的字节。

I've been using the blackboard a little ad hoc here, but suppose I neaten things up here now and present this rectangle is let's say R RAM, the memory inside of your computer.

我在这里特别地使用这块黑板，假如我整理这些东西，把它们呈现,这个长方形，假如说就是内存，你电脑的内存。

I don't exactly know where they are in RAM, but I know if I've got 2 gigabytes of RAM, zero is here, byte 1 is here, byte 2 is here, dot, dot, dot so maybe byte 123 is over here and 456 is here.

我不知道他们在内存中哪个地方，但是我知道如果我有2G内存，零在这里，字节1在这里，字节2在这里，等等等，所以可能123字节在这里，456字节在这里。

Instead I'm going to be expecting the address of some int and the address of another int and thanks to this address I can literally find this address in RAM, do anything I want there, -- return and what I've just done is actually changed or mutate the values of those original variables.

我们所期望的是int型地址,和另外一个int型地址,幸亏这个地址，我可以找在RAM中找到它的地址，然后做我想做的事情，返回我处理后的东西,我可能改变了这些源变量。
