To load a dataset in file "data.csv" into a variable a, and display on the terminal the maximal value of that dataset you could use:

a) var a = load("data.csv"); echo maximum(a);
b) a = loadtxt("data.csv"); print max(a);
c) a = numpy.loadtxt("data.csv"); print a.max();
d) var a = numpy.print_maximum("data.csv");
e) a = numpy.load("data.csv"); print max(a);

Question 2:

You have just loaded into a variable data a matrix of meteorological data for London, England and New York, USA and want to compare the rainfall for March, April, and May.
