NumPy Operations

Arithmetic

You can easily perform array with array arithmetic, or scalar with array arithmetic. Let's see some examples:



In [1]:

    
import numpy as np
arr = np.arange(0, 10)



In [2]:

    
arr + arr









    Out[2]:





array([ 0,  2,  4,  6,  8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18])



In [3]:

    
arr * arr









    Out[3]:





array([ 0,  1,  4,  9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81])



In [4]:

    
arr - arr









    Out[4]:





array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])



In [5]:

    
# Warning on division by zero, but not an error!
# Just replaced with nan
arr / arr









    



/home/arcyfelix/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ipykernel/__main__.py:3: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in true_divide
  app.launch_new_instance()






    Out[5]:





array([ nan,   1.,   1.,   1.,   1.,   1.,   1.,   1.,   1.,   1.])



In [6]:

    
# Also warning, but not an error instead infinity
1 / arr









    



/home/arcyfelix/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ipykernel/__main__.py:2: RuntimeWarning: divide by zero encountered in true_divide
  from ipykernel import kernelapp as app






    Out[6]:





array([        inf,  1.        ,  0.5       ,  0.33333333,  0.25      ,
        0.2       ,  0.16666667,  0.14285714,  0.125     ,  0.11111111])



In [7]:

    
arr ** 3









    Out[7]:





array([  0,   1,   8,  27,  64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729])

Universal Array Functions

Numpy comes with many universal array functions, which are essentially just mathematical operations you can use to perform the operation across the array. Let's show some common ones:



In [8]:

    
#Taking Square Roots
np.sqrt(arr)









    Out[8]:





array([ 0.        ,  1.        ,  1.41421356,  1.73205081,  2.        ,
        2.23606798,  2.44948974,  2.64575131,  2.82842712,  3.        ])



In [9]:

    
#Calcualting exponential (e^)
np.exp(arr)









    Out[9]:





array([  1.00000000e+00,   2.71828183e+00,   7.38905610e+00,
         2.00855369e+01,   5.45981500e+01,   1.48413159e+02,
         4.03428793e+02,   1.09663316e+03,   2.98095799e+03,
         8.10308393e+03])



In [10]:

    
np.max(arr) #same as arr.max()









    Out[10]:





9



In [11]:

    
np.sin(arr)









    Out[11]:





array([ 0.        ,  0.84147098,  0.90929743,  0.14112001, -0.7568025 ,
       -0.95892427, -0.2794155 ,  0.6569866 ,  0.98935825,  0.41211849])



In [12]:

    
np.log(arr)









    



/home/arcyfelix/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ipykernel/__main__.py:1: RuntimeWarning: divide by zero encountered in log
  if __name__ == '__main__':






    Out[12]:





array([       -inf,  0.        ,  0.69314718,  1.09861229,  1.38629436,
        1.60943791,  1.79175947,  1.94591015,  2.07944154,  2.19722458])

Great Job!

That's all we need to know for now!
