+Larger Questions
+----------------
+
+.. A minimum of 2 questions here (along with answers)
+
+
+1. Look at the following sequence ::
+
+     In []:t=true
+     NameError: name 'true' is not defined
+
+   What might be the reason for error here?
+
+   In this scenario , it seems the programmer wanted to create a
+   variable t with the boolean value True with a capital T. Since no
+   variable by the name true(small t) is known to the interpreter it
+   gives a NameError.
