For loops

a)

   1 for i in range(0,4,1):
   2      print i
   3   
   4 0
   5 1 
   6 2
   7 3

Insert an expression in ... to get the results.

Solution:

b)

What are the corresponding loops?

Solution:

Data types

A=dict([('a',1),('b',2)])

Please specify the data types:

A is a ...
'a' is a ...
1 is a ...
('a',1) is a ...
[('a',1),('b',2)] is a ...

Provide an alternative way to assign A

Scipy numeric types

from scipy import *

One byte consists of eight bit and covers the value range of 0..255 (uint8, unsigned integer) or -128..127.

   1 b=int8(128)
   2 -128 # Invalid range
   3 
   4 b.nbytes
   5 1

a)

What is the value range of the following types and how many bytes are allocated in the memory?

bool8
uint8, int8
uint16, int16
uint32, int32
uint64, uint64

Solution:

b)

How many bytes are allocated in the memory by these floating point types?

float32, float64, float96
complex64, complex128, complex192

Solution:

Data structures

a)

   1 D={'A':array(range(10)),'B':array(range(10))+1}

Which keys contains the dictionary D
Get the keys with the method D.keys()
Display all values of D using the method .values()
Display array A
Display the elements 3:6 of arrays B
Set this elements to 0
Insert a new key-values pair C:array(range(0,10,-1)) into D

Solution:

Reading and practicing

Install python and ipython on your computer and read through the tutorial which comes with the documentation. There are translations in other languages:
