NumPy Exercises

Now that we've learned about NumPy let's test your knowledge. We'll start off with a few simple tasks and then you'll be asked some more complicated questions.

IMPORTANT NOTE! Make sure you don't run the cells directly above the example output shown, otherwise you will end up writing over the example output!

Numpy Indexing and Selection

Now you will be given a few matrices, and be asked to replicate the resulting matrix outputs:


In [13]:
# HERE IS THE GIVEN MATRIX CALLED MAT
# USE IT FOR THE FOLLOWING TASKS
mat = np.arange(1,26).reshape(5,5)
mat


Out[13]:
array([[ 1,  2,  3,  4,  5],
       [ 6,  7,  8,  9, 10],
       [11, 12, 13, 14, 15],
       [16, 17, 18, 19, 20],
       [21, 22, 23, 24, 25]])

In [14]:
# WRITE CODE HERE THAT REPRODUCES THE OUTPUT OF THE CELL BELOW
# BE CAREFUL NOT TO RUN THE CELL BELOW, OTHERWISE YOU WON'T
# BE ABLE TO SEE THE OUTPUT ANY MORE

In [15]:
mat[2:, ]


Out[15]:
array([[11, 12, 13, 14, 15],
       [16, 17, 18, 19, 20],
       [21, 22, 23, 24, 25]])

In [16]:
# WRITE CODE HERE THAT REPRODUCES THE OUTPUT OF THE CELL BELOW
# BE CAREFUL NOT TO RUN THE CELL BELOW, OTHERWISE YOU WON'T
# BE ABLE TO SEE THE OUTPUT ANY MORE

In [17]:
mat[3, -1]


Out[17]:
20

In [18]:
# WRITE CODE HERE THAT REPRODUCES THE OUTPUT OF THE CELL BELOW
# BE CAREFUL NOT TO RUN THE CELL BELOW, OTHERWISE YOU WON'T
# BE ABLE TO SEE THE OUTPUT ANY MORE

In [19]:
mat[:3, 1].reshape(3, 1)


Out[19]:
array([[ 2],
       [ 7],
       [12]])

In [20]:
# WRITE CODE HERE THAT REPRODUCES THE OUTPUT OF THE CELL BELOW
# BE CAREFUL NOT TO RUN THE CELL BELOW, OTHERWISE YOU WON'T
# BE ABLE TO SEE THE OUTPUT ANY MORE

In [21]:
mat[-1, :]


Out[21]:
array([21, 22, 23, 24, 25])

In [22]:
# WRITE CODE HERE THAT REPRODUCES THE OUTPUT OF THE CELL BELOW
# BE CAREFUL NOT TO RUN THE CELL BELOW, OTHERWISE YOU WON'T
# BE ABLE TO SEE THE OUTPUT ANY MORE

In [23]:
mat[-2:, :]


Out[23]:
array([[16, 17, 18, 19, 20],
       [21, 22, 23, 24, 25]])

Now do the following

Get the sum of all the values in mat


In [24]:
# CODE HERE
np.sum(mat)


Out[24]:
325

Get the standard deviation of the values in mat


In [25]:
# CODE HERE
np.std(mat)


Out[25]:
7.2111025509279782

Get the sum of all the columns in mat


In [26]:
# CODE HERE
np.sum(mat, axis = 0)


Out[26]:
array([55, 60, 65, 70, 75])

Bonus Question

We worked a lot with random data with numpy, but is there a way we can insure that we always get the same random numbers? Click Here for a Hint


In [27]:
# My favourite number is 7
np.random.seed(7)

Great Job!
