I don't have to go read what it printed out in the screen. This has returned a value that I can use. Because I could do a test to say, is this a return value? If it's not, I'll do something else with it. So the binding is still there, it simply doesn't print it out.

我不想读到屏幕中打印出来的这行字,程序返回过一个我能够使用的值,因为我可以做个小测试，来说明这是否是返回的值，如果不是，我可以做一些其它的事,而这个绑定依然在这儿，没有打印任何东西。

So input is an int called F, print out to the screen or your piece of paper the value of C. Odds are you only need two, maybe three lines of code for this, but the goal ultimately will be try it on your own.

所以输入是一个int类型的F，在你的屏幕上,或你们的纸上打印出C的数值,可能你们需要两行或者三行的代码,但是最终的目标需要你自己独自尝试。
