To calculate the pH of a solution using the formula $$ \mathrm{pH} = -\log_{10}[\mathrm{H}^+] $$, we can substitute the given concentrations of hydrogen ions.

(a) For $$ \left[\mathrm{H}^+\right] = 0.1 $$:
$$
\mathrm{pH} = -\log_{10}(0.1) = -(-1) = 1
$$
So, $$ \mathrm{pH} = 1 $$.

(b) For $$ \left[\mathrm{H}^+\right] = 0.01 $$:
$$
\mathrm{pH} = -\log_{10}(0.01) = -(-2) = 2
$$
So, $$ \mathrm{pH} = 2 $$.

Thus, the answers are:
(a) $$ \mathrm{pH} = 1 $$
(b) $$ \mathrm{pH} = 2 $$
(a) $$ \mathrm{pH} = 1 $$ (b) $$ \mathrm{pH} = 2 $$
