也许同样重要的是基本的算法，如二进制搜索，图形搜索算法，排序算法，并基于树的极小搜索。

Perhaps just as important are fundamental algorithms like binary search, graph searching algorithms, sorting algorithms, and tree-based searches such as minimax.

If we can sort things, you know, we get this n log n behavior, and we got a n log n behavior overall. But can we actually do better in terms of searching.

如果我们可以排序，如你所知，我们有n，log，n级别的算法，并且我有一个整体的n，log，n级别的算法,但是我们在搜索方面可以做的更好吗？
