And it has an end test, something that tells me when I'm done and what the answer is.

还有一个终极测试，告诉我什么时候,完成和最终结果。

So one of the things I want you to notice here is that testing and debugging are not the same thing. When we test, we compare an input output pair to a specification.

这里我想大家注意的一件事,就是测试和调试是不同的两件事情,我们测试的时候，我们把输入输出,跟程序的规格说明书对比下。

And when I do this test, what I want to do, is say I'm going to pick the middle spot, and depending on the test, if I know it's in the upper half, I'm going to set my start at the mid point and the end stays the same, if it's in the front half I'm going to keep the front the same and I'm going to change the endpoint.

如果我知道目标数可能，再比中值点大的区间里，我可能就会把开始点设为中值点,而尾点不变，如果在小的那个区间里,就保持开始点不变而把尾点设为中值点，你们可以看到这儿的代码,就是这么做的,对不对？它是怎么做的？
