We're going to build up this taxonomy if you like, but the reason it's relevant is, associated with each one of those types is a set of operators that expect certain types of input in order to do their job.

我们将会建立这种分类，但是这相关的原因是，对于每种类型都有,和之对应的一个操作集,这个操作机对一些输入,做出规定的操作。

We have some set of things we want to do with strings, and different set of things we want to do with numbers.

这就对了,我们有一个可以对字符串，进行操作的方法集,还有另外一个不同的。

And when I'm done with the whole thing, before I end the increment of the variable, you know, when I'm done, I'm just not returning anything out.

在循环外面初始化它，然后做一个终结测试，然后在循环内部有一个指令集，在这个例子中，就是对余数做检查，然后显示信息，当我完成了整个循环。

But underlying Python is the same idea.

对数字进行操作的方法集。

Sometimes the functions -- sometimes a function can be used on multiple data types, plus, for example, we saw could add strings, or could add ints, but each one of those data types has associated with it a set of functions that are geared to handling them.

比如说，我们可以对string类型,进行add操作,也可以对int类型进行这个操作，但是这些数据类型中的每一种，都与适合于操作它们的,方法集相关联,我们想对我们创建的数据,类型做同样的事情。
