尽管有众多的编程语言和不同的计算机存在，第一步也是最重要的一步就是找到解决问题的方案，没有算法就不会有程序。

Although many programming languages and many different types of computers exist, the important first step is the need to have the solution. Without an algorithm there can be no program.

This is where, the way that we should start every problem set or ever problem.

这是我们,解决任何问题的最初一步。

Well, realize one of the themes in this course and really one of the themes in programming and solving any problem with a machine is going to be really to just take small bites one at a time out of these problems until the end result ultimately is that you've actually bitten off a fairly large fairly interesting problem and in the aggregate, you've actually implemented something pretty sophisticated.

好吧，让我们先想一下这件事带给我们的主题,编程和解决问题的思想,一台机器最开始只会一步一个脚印,沿着要解决的问题向前迈进,直到最终的结果出来,最后你会发现，你已经解决了一个相当大,相当有趣的问题，而这个问题在最初看起来确是相当复杂的。
