And that is a preface to an idea of computational complexity we're going to come back to.

这是我们日后,要讲的计算复杂度的,一个前言。

That's an important observation, and as we get to the part of the course we talk about computational complexity, you'll see that what we really care about is not how efficient the program is on easy problems but how efficient it is on hard problems.

我们已经学习了这门课程的一部分了，我们要开始认识到,计算的复杂度这个概念，你会学习到我们在乎的并不是,算法在简单问题上的工作效率,而是解决复杂问题的效率。
