This exercise is slightly a modifed exercise from this [http://groups.google.com/group/pythoncrashclass?hl=en "python crash course"].
Type the following into the Python interpreter and record the results & any questions / comments you have. NB: the ">>>" indicates the "prompt" (what Python prints to ask you to type something to it) -- so you don't type it!
 
>>> 1
>>> -1
>>> 1-
>>> 1 = 2
>>> 1 == 2
>>> 1 != 2
>>> 1 < 2
>>> 1 <=1
>>> 1 > 2
>>> 1 <= 1
>>> 1 > 2
>>> 1 < 3 < 5
>>> 1 < 3 and 3 < 5
>>> 1 < 3 < 5
>>> 1 < 3 and 3 < 2
>>> 1 == 1 == 1
>>> 1 * 2
>>> 1 + 2
>>> 1 / 2
>>> 1 / 2.0
>>> 1 // 2.0
 
the % sign is the mod operator. It gives the remainder involved.
 
so, a % b = remainder of a/b such that
 
if a=6 and b=4 then remainder = 2
if a=4 and b=6 then remainder = 4
this is because
6/4 = is 1 with a remainder of 2
4/6 = is .6 with a remainder of 4
 
>>> 9 % 2
>>> 10 % 3
>>> int
>>> int(2)
>>> int(2.0)
>>> int(2.1)
>>> int(2.9)
>>> int("2.0")
>>> int("four")
>>> long(4)
>>> 4 == 4L
>>> float(2)
>>> float('2')
>>> float('2.9')
>>> 1/0
>>> 1 + 1.0
>>> 1 + 1L
>>> 1.0 + 1L
>>> 1<2 and 2<3
>>> 1<2 and 2<3
>>> 1<2 and not (2<3)
>>> 1<2 and True
>>> 1<2 and False
>>> 2 & 4
>>> 2 | 4
>>> ~2
>>> 2 << 1
>>> 2 << 2
>>> abs(4)
>>> abs(-4)
>>> pow(2,8)
>>> 2**8
>>> 2 ** 16
>>> 2 ** 32
>>> 2 ** 31
>>> int ( 2 ** 31-1)
>>> int( 2 ** 31-1) + 1
>>> round(1.01)
>>> round(1.99)
>>> round(1.50)
>>> round (1.59)
>>> 1/3.0
>>> third = 1/3.0
>>> round(third)
>>> round(third, 1)
>>> round(third, 2)
>>> round(third, 3)
>>> round(1234.56, -1)
>>> round(1234.56, -2)
>>> round(1234.56, -3)
>>> type(int)

>>> int()
>>> 0 == int()
>>> 0 is int()
>>> type(int)
>>> type(int())
>>> int(4,3)
>>> int('4')
>>> int("four")
>>> int('z')
>>> int('c', 16)
>>> int("101", 2)
>>> 'hello'
>>> "hello"
>>> 'bob's your uncle'
>>> 'bob\'s your uncle'
>>> "bob's your uncle"
>>> 'A quote (") mark'
>>> '''bob's your "uncle"'''
