[Tutor] How do I go about this? [was Re: Who uses input()? [was Re: question on "input"]]

[Nathan Pinno]

Here's part of what I'm looking for (got it from a Python program):
a b
a 2
a 5
a 6
1 b
1 2
1 5
1 6
3 b
3 2
3 5
3 6
4 b
4 2
4 5
4 6
I want to see also !=, ==, and, & nor combos also. 0 != 2 for an example.
