All right, you can see that this little piece of code, it's got a loop in there, and what's it doing?

好，你们看到的这一小块代码,是做了一个循环吧？,他在做什么？

All right, this is actually a very old piece of imperative knowledge for computing square roots, it's attributed to Heron of Alexandria, although I believe that the Babylonians are suspected of knowing it beforehand.

好，这是一个很古老的,关于计算平方根的程序性知识，是亚历山大的海伦提出的，不过我怀疑在那之前,巴比伦人就已经猜想过了。

So let's look at the second example, all right, I keep doing that -- this piece of code from here to here gives me a way of now creating a hash table of size 256.

所以让我们来看一下第二个例子，好的，我继续做那件事,这段代码中从这里到这里,是创建一个大小为256的哈希表。

I'm given an integer that's a perfect square, and I want to write a little piece of code that's going to find the square root of it. All right so I'm cheating a little, I know it's a perfect square, somebody's given it to me, we'll come back in a second to generalizing it, so what would the steps be that I'd use to walk through it?

完美平方数的整数，我想写一段代码来求这个数的平方根,好，我这儿有点儿作弊了,我知道这是一个完美的平方数了,他们给我的，我们后面会讲怎么产生这个数的，那么我想解决这个问题,需要什么步骤呢？

All right. If you flip to the second side of your handout, you'll see that I have a piece of code there, that does this-- let me, ah, I didn't want to do that, let me back up slightly- this is the algorithm called search.

你可以看到实现这个功能的代码,让我，额，我不想这么做,让我们回来一点,这就是命名为search的算法-,我们来看看这个算法吧。

First of all, two parameters. It's OK. All it says is, when I call this, I need to pass in two parameters for this to work. All right? Now, if I want to use that, I'm going to use a second piece of code here, called Barnyard. I'm going Barnyard to read in a couple of values, convert them into integers, and then I'm going to use solve to get a solution out.

注意我得到了什么,第一，两个参数,它的意思就是我调用这个函数，我得给它输入两个参数，明白了吗？,现在如果我要使用它我得用,这里的第二段代码，也叫,我将读入一组值，将它们转化为整型,然后我会用solve得到一个解决方案。
