Now as an aside, I'll admit this is a completely useless program, much like the first couple of ones we did because why would you write a program just to solve this?

说点题外话，我承认这是一个完全无用的程序，跟我们之前写的两个程序一样,我们为什么需要写个程序来解决这个数学运算呢？

And it's called Silly because it's really a rather ugly program. It's certainly not the right way to write a program to do this.

它之所以被称为Silly因为,它实在是一个相当丑的程序,当然以这种方式去写一个程序是不对的。

Let's take a quick glimpse of what it's like to write a real program albeit a very trivial one.

下面是一个真正的程序,尽管它很简单。

Why not write the program in a way where you figure out dynamically when the program is run how much memory you need rather than hard coding in two with or within that constant.

为什么不写一个可以动态的方式写那个程序,程序可以动态分配内存,而不是用常量硬编码两个值。

So I am going to on the fly write a very simple little main program that just illustrates some of the syntax that we can then visualize more interesting.

我很快的写了一个很简单地小程序,来说明一些语法,我们使它变得更有趣些。

So it turns out that, main, yes, is the default function you write, at least in C, when writing a program.

结果是，main函数，是的，这是你写的默认函数，至少是在C语言中，当写程序的时候。

You can very quickly drive yourself nuts by sitting down, thinking, oh, I can write this program, no sweat, and then you write it and then there's a tiny little mistake here, but then there's a tiny little mistake here and here, and all of these stupid little things cascade until you try running your program, and the thing just doesn't work.

如果你只是仅仅干坐着，不费吹灰之力，凭空幻想着我可以把这个项目搞定，你会想地发疯的，也许你会写出一点东西出来，可能会有一点点错误,紧接着这或那又出现一点小错误，这些小错误一点一点地堆积了起来,直到你开始运行你整个项目，你会发现这堆东西根本就不工作。

But literally all I can do at this stage is write what we would call a straight-line program, that is, a program in which we execute in which we execute the sequence of instructions one by one.

但是字面上来说,我们现在学到的,都是所谓的直线程序，也就是，一个接一个的执行,一系列的,指令的程序。

Last year for the pieces that do vary year to year a bit, last year's first problem set challenged students to write their first or maybe second or third program using this environment called Scratch.

去年的教材有些地方有略微改动，去年的第一个问题集是让学生,在Scratch环境下,写下自己的第一或第二个或第三个程序。

So it turns out a really nice shortcut on most systems, oops, is to say if you have a file called hello.c and you wanna turn it into a program called hello, well, make hello just write in the command makeHello and it will do all of that for you automatically and hand you a program called hello.

就是寻找一种能在大多数系统上运行的更快捷的方式，哇！,也就是说，你有一个hello，c的文件,你想把它变成一个名为hello的程序，那么只需要敲入命令,它就会自动为你生成,一个hello程序。

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“
