For loops

a)

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

Solution: 

   1 for i in range(0,4,1):
   2      for j in range(0,4,1):
   3                 print i,j

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)
