A mininum of 8 questions here (along with answers) - -1. An array in Python is the same as a Python list - - a. True - #. False - -Answer: False - -2. ``x = array([1, 2, 3], [5, 6, 7])`` is a valid statement - - a. True - #. False - -Answer: False - -3. What will be the output of the following code, - :: - - x = array([[1, 2, 3], ['a', 2, 'c']]) - print x[0][0] + x[0][1] + x[0][2] - - a. 6 - #. 123 - #. a2c - #. Error as array takes only homogeneous elements - -Answer: 123 - -4. What will be the output of the following code, - :: - - x = [[1, 2, 3], [4.1, 4.2, 4.3], ['6','7',8]] - y = array(x) - print y[-1][-2] + y[-1][-1] + y[-2][0] + y[0][-2] - - a. 21.1 - #. 12.5 - #. 784.12 - #.

What is the output of the following code, - :: - - x = array([[1, 2, 3], ['a', 2, 'c']]) - identity(x.shape) - - a. Will create an identity matrix of shape (2, 3). - #. ``identity()`` function takes an integer as argument and a tuple - is passed. - #. Will return, array([[1,0,1],[0,1,0]]) - #. Will return, array([[0,1,0],[0,1,0]]) - -Answer: ``identity()`` function takes an integer as argument and a - tuple is passed. - -6. ``ones_like()`` function? - - (A) Returns an array of ones with the same shape and type as a - given array. - (B) Return a new array of given shape and type, filled with ones. - - Read the statements and answer, - - a. Only statement A is correct. - #. Only statement B is correct. - #. Both statement A and B are correct. - #. Both statement A and B are incorrect. - -Answer: Only statement A is correct. - -7. ``zeros_like()`` function? - - (A) Return a new array of given shape and type, filled with zeros. - (B) Returns an array of zeros with the same shape and type as a - given array. - - - Read the statements and answer, - - a. Only statement A is correct. - #. Only statement B is correct. - #. Both statement A and B are correct. - #. Both statement A and B are incorrect. - -Answer: Only statement B is correct. - -8. What will be output of the following code snippet. - :: - - x = linspace(1,10,10).reshape(5,2) - print (x[-3]+x[-4]).sum() - - a. 10.0 - #. 18.0 - #. 14.0 - #. 16.44 - #. Error - -Answer: 18 - -Larger Questions ----------------- - -.. A minimum of 2 questions here (along with answers) - -1. Write a python script to create a 15x15 array of equally spaced 225 - elements from 1 to 1000, add 5 to each of the diagonal elements and - find the sum of all odd rows of the array. Say for example the - array, - :: - - x = array([[1, 2, 3], - [4, 5, 6], - [7, 8, 9]]) - - will give answer 40 ((1+5) + 2 + 3 + 7 + 8 + (9+5)). - -2. For any given array([a1, a2, a3, .. , an]) the Vandermonde matrix - will be [[1, a1, a1**2, .. , a1**(n-1)], [1, a2, a2**2, .. , - a2**(n-1)], .. , [1, an, an**2, .. ,an**(n-1)]]. Write a python - script to generate the Vandermonde matrix and find the determinant - of the matrix for [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, - 16, 17, 18, 19, 20]. [Hint: to find the determinant use the - function ``det()`` from ``linalg`` module.]
