Week 2 Exercise 02 - NumPy Indexing and Selection
Name: Mabaquiao, Jezreel B. Score:
Section: A7 Date: Jan 16
Objectives:
● Understand the programming fundamentals and the Python language.
● Write Python programs that utilize variables, data types, and operators.
Instructions:
1. To complete this exercise, please follow the sample commands in Python provided to you.
Once you have completed the assignment, please submit the IPython file and this
document to me. You have one week to complete the exercise from the assigned date.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the assignment.
2. When submitting your completed assignment, please name the IPython file as follows:
"surname_firstname_MP1Exercise". Replace "surname" with your last name, "firstname" with
your first name, and "MP2Exercise" with the name of the machine problem.
For example, if your name is John Smith and the machine problem is "PythonExercise2", the
file name should be "smith_john_PythonExercise1.ipynb".
Please adhere to this naming convention when submitting your file. This will ensure I can
quickly identify your submission and provide appropriate feedback.
NumPy Indexing and Selection
In [1] import numpy as np
In [2] #Creating sample array

Week 2 Exercise 02 - NumPy Indexing and Selection
arr = np.arange(0,11)
In [3] #Show
arr
Out[3] array([ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])
Bracket Indexing and Selection: The simplest way to pick one or some elements
of an array looks very similar to python lists.
In [4] arr[8]
Out[4] np.int32(8)
In [5] #Get values in a range
arr[1:5]
Out[5] array([1, 2, 3, 4])
In [6] #Get values in a range
arr[0:5]
Out[6] array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
Broadcasting: NumPy arrays differ from normal Python lists because of their ability
to broadcast. With lists, you can only reassign parts of a list with new parts of the
same size and shape. If you wanted to replace the first 5 elements in a list with a
new value, you would have to pass in a new 5 element list. With NumPy arrays,
you can broadcast a single value across a larger set of values:
In [7] #Setting a value with index range (Broadcasting)
arr[0:5]=100
#Show
arr
Out[7] array([100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])

Week 2 Exercise 02 - NumPy Indexing and Selection
In [8] arr = np.arange(0,11)
#Show
arr
Out[8] array([ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])
In [9] #Important notes on Slices
slice_of_arr = arr[0:6]
#Show slice
slice_of_arr
Out[9] array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
In [10] #Change Slice
slice_of_arr[:]=99
#Show Slice again
slice_of_arr
Out[10] array([99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99])
Now note the changes also occur in our original array!
In [11] arr
Out[11] array([99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])
Data is not copied, It’s a view of the original array! This avoids memory problems.
In [12] #To get a copy, need to be explicit
arr_copy = arr.copy()
arr_copy
Out[12] array([99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])
Indexing a 2D array (matrices): The general format is arr_2d[row][col] or
arr_2d[row,col].

Week 2 Exercise 02 - NumPy Indexing and Selection
In [13] arr_2d = np.array(([5,10,15],[20,25,30],[35,40,45]))
arr_2d
Out[13] array([[ 5, 10, 15],
[20, 25, 30],
[35, 40, 45]])
In [14] arr_2d[1]
Out[14] array([20, 25, 30])
In [15] arr_2d[1][0]
Out[15] np.int32(20)
In [16] arr_2d[1,0]
Out[16] np.int32(20)
In [17] arr_2d[:2,1:]
Out[17] array([[10, 15],
[25, 30]])
In [18] arr_2d[2]
Out[18] array([35, 40, 45])
In [19] arr_2d[2,:]
Out[19] array([35, 40, 45])
Conditional Selection: This is a very fundamental concept that will directly
translate to pandas later on.
