2.natural number
(1)定义
p184, If you limit the domain of possible values to the set of natural numbers,which are defined simply as the set of nonnegative integers.
3.最大公约数
/*
* p191. 3. The greatest common divisor(g.c.d) of two nonnegative integers is the
* largest integer that divides evenly into both. In the third century B.C., the
* Greek mathematician Euclid discovered that the greatest common divisor of x
* and y can always be computed as follows:
*
* If x is evenly divisible by y, then y is the greatest common divisor.
* Otherwise, the greatest common divisor of x and y is always equal to the
* greatest common divisor of y and the remainder of x divided by y.
*
* Use Euclid insight to write a recursive function GCD(X, Y) that computes the
* greatest common divisor x and y.
*/
#include
int gcd(int x, int y);
/*
* function: gcd
* Usage: int(x, y)
* ------------
*/
int gcd(int x, int y) {
if (x % y == 0) {
return y;
}
return gcd(y, x % y);
}
int main() {
int result;
result = gcd(16, 28);
printf("GCD=%dn", result); // GCD=4
return 0;
}二、英语总结
1.holistic是什么意思？
答：
(1)holistic: holism + -istic。adj. treat the whole of sth and not just a part(整体的)。
(2)holism: holos(“whole”，来自于“*sole”，完整的) + -ism(word-forming element making nouns implying a practice, system, doctrine, etc. 构成词的元素，暗示实践、制度、学说等)。u. the belief that each thing is a whole that is more important the parts that make it up，整体论。
(3)-istic: adjectival word-forming element(构成形容词的元素)。
(4)示例：p185, Maint服务器托管网ain a holistic perspective(保持整体的观点)。
2.philosophical是什么意思?
(1)philosophical: philosophy + -ical。adj. relating to the study of philosophy(哲学的)。
(2)philosophy: philo-(“loving”) + sophia(“knowledge, wisdom”)，哲学。
3.devote是什么意思？
答：de-(down from，away from, 离开) + vow(to vow“make a promise to do sth, 发誓”)，即as if by vow。
(1) vt. to use sth for a particular purpose（使用）。p185，In Chapter 2 of The Art and Science of C, I devote one section to the philosophical concepts of holism and reductionnism(在《在C语言的科学与艺术》第二章，我专门用一节来介绍整体论与还原论这两个哲学概念。)
4.odds are good是什么意思？
答：
(1)odds: n. the probalility that a particular thing will or will not happend(可能性)。
(2)odds are good: There is a high probability that it will happen(可能性很大)。
(3)示例：p185,After all, when you write a program, the odds are g服务器托管网ood–even if you are an experienced programmer–that your program won’t work the first time。
