Alright, so maybe a little underwhelming and we saw already what this program is going to do but let's just go through this process once before we start doing more interesting things and then we'll come back and at least give you a hint of what some of these syntactic details are doing.

好吧，这个程序也许太平庸了，让人印象不够深刻,我们也知道这个程序是干嘛的,在我们开始更有意思的事情之前,让我们再来讨论一下整个过程后再回来,这些语法细节到底是在做什么呢？,先给你们一点小小的提示。

你会很快适应这些,微小的区别,但我们正是要把这些罗里吧嗦的语法细节,尤其是那些让人非常头大的句子啃下来才行,因为如果我们一旦遗漏掉某个符号，譬如一个分号,从另一方面看来，很有可能什么都工作不了。
