[Tutor] reclassify values in an array

[questions anon]

thank you for all of the resonses, I have attempted all of the suggestions.
It is a numpy array so I can try another list if you would prefer but I
thought I would show the error anyway.
the error I am receiving is
ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is
ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()

on this code
big_array=N.ma.concatenate(all_FFDI)
for i, value in enumerate(big_array):
    if value==100:
        big_array[i]=0
    elif value>=100:
        big_array[i]=1
    print big_array
