Thanks to those who have helped a beginner in Python. Using version 3.0 # script23 from array import array < see failed initialization attempts below >
tally = array('H',for i in range(75) : [0]) tally = array('H',[for i in range(75) : 0]) tally = array('H',range(75) : [0]) tally = array('H',range(75) [0]) Above give either Syntax error or TypeError All examples of sequences in docs show only a few members being initialized. Array doc says an iterator can be used, but doen't show how. What would you do for a 2 dimensional array ? Incorporate c code ? The online docs are clearly insufficient for a novice.
