[AstroPy] Short survey on behavior of multi-dimensional arrays

[Paul Barrett]

This is a short survey on some behavioral aspects of multi-dimensional
arrays.  Please take the time to complete this survey and send your
results back to me: Paul Barrett <barrett at stsci.edu>.  Please don't
hesitate to contact me if you need clarification on one or more
questions or have questions of your own that you would like answered.

Cheers,

Q1. Given the following Python code:

    >>> A = array([11, 12, 13])
    >>> B = A[:]
    >>> A[0] = 1

    What is B[0] and why?


Q2. Given the following Python code:

    >>> A = array([[11, 12, 13], [21, 22, 23], [31, 32, 33]])
    >>> B = A[0]
    >>> A[0] = [1, 2, 3]

    Again, what is B[0] and why?


Q3. Given the following Python code:

    >>> A = array([11.0, 12.0, 13.0], Float32)
    >>> B = 2.0*A

    What type is B and why?

    (Note that real numbers in Python are internally stored as double
    precision floating-point numbers.)
