That one's not so obvious. So let's think about this for a second. To sort a list in linear time, would say, I have to look at each element in the list at most a constant number of times.

所以让我们来思考一会,要在线性时间能排序，列表里每个元素最多被使用常数次,不一定是一次，对吧。

Does it make sense to think we could do this in less than linear time? You know, it takes a little bit of thinking. What would it mean do I see a hand way at the back, yes please? Thank you.

你要稍微想一想，这意味着什么？,那儿是有人举手么？后面的,请你来回答吧,谢谢你，小伙子,你让我体会到我上课的价值。
