So C or the compiler's for C are kind of dumb, by definition of the language years ago, whereby, they only know about what they've already seen.

所以C或者C的编译器是有点愚蠢的，根据多年前这个语言的定义，凭借那个，他们只知道,他们所看到的。

所以我打算继续，保存，并命名为，“，c“表明这个程序,是使用C语言写的。

So here is the simplest program which is perhaps an ironic statement that you can implement with this language called C. So it takes a few lines of code to actually get something up and running and as you'll recall last Friday, I didn't even get this up and running because part of the process of writing a program is to one, write it.

让我们回到这个最简单的程序,你们也许觉得啼笑皆非，这么简单的例子,用C语言写出来就可以了嘛，的确只需要几行代码,就可以让这个程序跑起来,就像上周五的那样，我之所以没让它跑起来,因为编程步骤之一,就是“写“

But one of the teaching fellas also passed long to us recently, a little real world example of what happens when you're not mindful of various data types and you're not mindful of the imprecision that's inherent in representing data in a computer, at least using a language like C and low level primitives like floats and even doubles.

最近有个助教告诉我们，一个现实世界中的例子,当你不注意各种各样的数据类型,也不注意在计算机中表示数据时,其内在的不精确性，至少在用像C语言,和float甚至double型数据时，那将会发生什么？
