We decrement so to speak the variable and then where will we go next in terms of the flow control, the flow of this program.

可以这么说，我们递减这个变量,然后按照控制流，即程序流进入到下一语句。

Third thing to notice is, there's a flow of control. The order which these things are going to happen.

第三件事情就是,我有一个控制流,这些事情有个要做的先后顺序。

And get into the habit of using it to help you define what is the flow of control.

然后是养成用伪代码,来帮助你定义控制流的习惯。

So let's look at a little example, and this is going to, excuse me, both allow us introduce the syntax as well as what we want to have as the flow of control inside of here.

让我们看个小例子，这个程序会，对不对，请允许我,一边顺着控制流进行,一边讲解语法。

What that basically says is the following: in an interpreted language, you take what's called the source code, the thing you write, it may go through a simple checker but it basically goes to the interpreter, that thing inside the machine that's going to control the flow of going through each one of the instructions, and give you an output.

也就说，如果是解释语言的话：,你要写一些叫做，源码的东西，你写的东西会经过一个简单的过滤器,然后解释器会处理你的源码，解释器会产生一个,逐条读取你的源码的,控制流，然后返回一个输出结果。

And that flow of control is what I just described.

那个控制流程就是刚刚我说的。

And then we have a flow of control.

之后我们有控制流程。

What we're saying is, in order to do computation, we want to describe recipes, we want to describe this sequence of steps built on some primitives, and we want to describe the flow of control that goes through those sequence of steps as we carry on So the last thing we need before we can start talking about real programming is, we need to describe those recipes.

我们在说，为了做计算，我们想描述一个方法，想描述建立在,相同基本类型上的步骤序列，而且我们想描述经过我们设计的,步骤的序列的，控制流程,因此我们开始谈论真正的编程之前,的最后一件事是，我们需要描述一下那些方法。
