For loops

a)

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

Solution:

b)

0 0
0 1
0 2
0 3
1 0
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 0
2 1
2 2
2 3
3 0
3 1
3 2
3 3

Solution:

In [51]: a='0' In [52]: b='1' In [53]: 4*a+4*b

Out[53]: '00001111'

In [44]: a=0,1,2,3

In [45]: a*4

Out[45]: (0,1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0)

Data types

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

Please specify the data types:

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)
