For some people, programming and debugging are the same thing. That is, programming is the process of gradually debugging a program until it does what you want. The idea is that you should start with a working program and make small modifications, debugging them as you go.

	对于一些人来说，编程（programing）和调试（debugging）是同一件事。也就是说，编程是一个逐步调试（gradually debugging）程序的过程，
直到它达到您想要的效果。我们认为你应该从一个可以运行的程序（working program）开始，在此基础上做一些小的修改，并调试它们(debugging them)。

For example, Linux is an operating system that contains millions of lines of code, but it started out as a simple program Linus Torvalds ¹used to explore the Intel 80386 chip. According to Larry Greenfield, “One of Linus’s earlier projects was a program that would switch between printing AAAA and BBBB. This later evolved to Linux.” (The Linux Users’ Guide Beta Version 1).

	例如，`Linux`是一个百万行代码级别的操作系统，但它最初只是`林纳斯·托瓦兹(Linus Torvalds)`用来研究`Intel 80386芯片`的一个简单程序。
`拉里·格林菲尔德(Larry Greenfield)`表示:“Linus的早期项目之一是在打印AAAA和BBBB之间切换的程序。”这一项目演变成了Linux。
