##### The exercice is validated is all questions of the exercice are validated ##### The question 1 is validated if the output is the same as: `np.ones([9,9], dtype=np.int8)` ##### The question 2 is validated if the output is ```console array([[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]], dtype=int8) ``` ##### The solution of question 2 is not accepted if the values of the array have been changed one by one manually. The usage of the for loop is not allowed neither. Here is an example of a possible solution: ```console x[1:8,1:8] = 0 x[2:7,2:7] = 1 x[3:6,3:6] = 0 x[4,4] = 1 ```
