Number-crunching is the work of going through a lot of numbers and calculating results. It is informal, a little playful, and a little tired: people say it when the maths is heavy and not very — , accounts, test scores, machine data. A person who does this all day may be called a number cruncher. You crunch a with your teeth; here you 'crunch' numbers, as if you are chewing through a pile of them. Offices, science labs, and news reports all use it. It is not a rude word, but it is not for a formal contract either.
跑數據；大量數字運算（口語）
組成number + crunching. Crunch first means to crush with a noisy bite; people then said 'crunch numbers' for heavy calculating.
