What's an algorithm?

What's an algorithm. In computer science, an algorithm is a set of instructions for solving some problem, step-by-step.

Typically, algorithms are executed by computers, but we humans have algorithms as well.

For instance, how would you go about counting the number of people in a room?

Well, if you're like me. You probably point at each person, one at a time, and count up from 0: 1,2,3,4 and so forth.

Well, that's an algorithm. In fact, let's try to express it a bit more formally in pseudocode, English-like syntax that resembles a programming language.

Let n equals 0. For each person in room, set n=n+1.

How to interpret this pseudocode? Well, line 1 declares, so to speak, a variable called n and initializes its value to zero.

This just means that at the beginning of our algorithm, the thing with which we're counting has a value of zero.

🔍 1. 盲听抓主旨

现阶段没办法做到记录主题、观点

• 我确定听到的词：computer science、What's an algorithm、instruction、step-by-step
• 我猜他在说：算法

✍️ 2. 逐句听写

1、What's an algorithm. In computer science, an algorithm is a set of instructions for solving some problem, step-by-step.

• 弱读：
  • for：[fɔ:r] -> [fər]
  • an：[æn] -> [ən]
• 连读：
  • What's an algorithm -> [wɑ:tsənælgrɪðəm]
  • is a set of -> [ɪzəsetəv]

2、Typically, algorithms are executed by computers, but we humans have algorithms as well.

• 弱读：
  • as well：[æzwel] -> [əzwel]
  • have：[hæv] -(懒音)> [həv] -(击穿)> [əv]
  • are：[ɑ:r] -(懒音)> [ər]
• 连读
  • algorithms are：[ˈælɡərɪðəmsər]
  • humans have：['hju:məzəv]
  • algorithms as：[ˈælɡərɪðəmsəz]

3、For instance, how would you go about counting the number of people in a room?

• 弱读：
  • for：[fɔːr] -(懒音)> [fər]
  • in：[ɪn] -(懒音)> [ən]
• 连读：
  • would you：[wʊdju]（我的油）-(同化)> [wʊʤu]（我竹）
  • in a：[ɪnə] -(辅元连读)> [ɪnə] -(懒音)> [ənə]

4、Well, if you're like me. You probably point at each person, one at a time, and count up from 0: 1,2,3,4 and so forth.

• 弱读
  • if：[ɪf] -> [əf] -> [f]
    • well 以 [l] 结尾（可视为半元音）
    • you're 以 [j] 开头（元音滑音）
    • 中间的这个 [əf] 被挤压成一个极短的过渡音
  • at：[æt] -> [ət]
  • count up：[kaʊntʌp] -(懒人音)> [kaʊntəp]
  • from：[frʌm] -（懒人音）> [frəm]
  • and：[ənd] -(省音)> [ən]（t、d 在鼻音后极易省略）
• 连读
  • point at each：[pɔ-ɪn-tæ-ti:-ʧ] -(Silent T)> [pɔɪ-nə-i:-ʧ]
  • your're：[jər]（叶er）
  • one at a time：[wʌ-nə-nə-ˈtaɪm](Silent T)

5、Well, that's an algorithm. In fact, let's try to express it a bit more formally in pseudocode, English-like syntax that resembles a programming language.

嗯，这就是一个算法。事实上，让我们试着用更正式一点的伪代码来描述它——这是一种类似英语的语法，看起来像编程语言。

• 弱读：
  • well：[wel] -(懒人音)> [wəl]/[wl]
• 连读
  • let's try to a bit more：[ləstrəɾu]

6、Let n equals 0. For each person in room, set n=n+1.

• 弱读：
  • in：[ɪn] -(懒人音)> [ən]
  • for [fɔr] -(懒人音)> [fər]
• 连音：
  • person in：辅元连读 [pɜːr-sə-nən]

7、How to interpret this pseudocode?// Well,// line 1 declares,/ so to speak,/ a variable called n/ and initializes its value to zero.

这段伪代码该怎么理解呢？嗯，第 1 行声明了一个变量 n——讲人话——并将其初始值设为零。

• 弱读
  • to：[tu:] -(懒人音)> [tə]
  • well：[wel] -(懒人音)> [wəl]
• 连读
  • interpret this：[ɪnˈtɜːrprət]
  • so to：[soʊɾə]
  • and initializes its：辅元连读

8、This just means that at the beginning of our algorithm,// the thing with which we're counting/ has a value of zero.

这意味着在我们的算法开始时，我们正在计数的那个东西的值为 0。

• 弱读
  • we're：[wɪr] -(懒人音)> [wər]
• Dropped T
  • just means：t 前后都是辅a'f音，可以省略，就算没省，也基本上听不出来
• 连读
  • that at the：辅元连读，[ðətəðə]
  • has a：辅元连读，[həzə]
