Doing Python Math Operations With Numpy (Part III)

In my previous post, I explored how to use Pandas to work with data frames and similar structures. In this post, I want to go to the next level and discuss the magical operations available with the NumPy (Numerical Python) library, including fast array manipulation.

Numerical Python = NumPy

Why should go with NumPy

  • Provides Data Structure, Algorithm for the Scientific application which requires numerical data.
  • Which supports multi-dimensional array manipulation. NumPy’s array object is called ndarray. 
  • Easy to reshape, slice, and dice the array. And fast array process capability.
  • Makes complex mathematical implementations very simple. 
  • To perform different numerical and trigonometry functions (i.e., sin, cos, tan, mean, median, etc.)
  • Excellent support for Linear Algebra, Fourier Transformer, etc.,
  • NumPy arrays are very efficient than list arrays, The way it processes manipulate id fast.
  • It is often used along with other packages in Python environments like SciPy and Matplotlib. 

What library supports and how should we import NumPy?

import numpy as np

What NumPy Cando? 

The below picture represented the capabilities of NumPy. Let’s discuss it one by one.

I. Exploring the dimensions in the array

a. ONE Dimensions and Multi-Dimensions

(a.1) 1-D

import numpy as np
a = np.array([100,200,300,400,500])
print (a)
OUTPUT
[100 200 300 400 500]

(a.2) n-D
a = np.array([[100, 200], [300, 400]])
print (a)
OUTPUT
[[100 200]
[300 400]]

b. Number of Dimensions
x = np.array(1)
y = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
z = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
print(x.ndim)
print(y.ndim)
print(z.ndim)
OUTPUT
0
1
2

c. Finding Type of the array
arr = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
print(arr)
print(type(arr))
OUTPUT
[1 2 3 4 5]
<class ‘numpy.ndarray’>

d. Accessing array elements
arr = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4])
print(arr[0])
OUTPUT
1

e.Slicing array element
import numpy as np
arr = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
print(arr[1:5])
OUTPUT
[2 3 4 5]

II. Data Type Objects Specfic to NumPy

NumPy has additional data types, Let’s see those and simple code to find the type of the variable.

III. Finding shape and re-shape of the ndarray.

a. Shape of the array

(a.1) The Array has the attribute that returns array dimensions.

import numpy as np
a = np.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[4,5,6]])
print (“Shape of the array:”,a.shape)
a = np.array([[1,2,3,4],[3,4,5,6]])
print (“Shape of the array:”,a.shape)
OUTPUT
Shape of the array: (3, 3)
Shape of the array: (2, 4)

b. Re-shape of the array

(b.1) Certainly, you can resize the array, with simple steps

import numpy as np
a = np.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]])
b = a.reshape(3,2)
print (“Array a(Actual shape):\n”,a)
print (“Shape of the array:\n”,a.shape)
print (“Array b(After reshape):\n”,b)
print (“After Re-shape of the array:\n”,b.shape)

OUTPUT
Array a(Actual shape):
[[1 2 3]
[4 5 6]]
Shape of the array:
(2, 3)
Array b(After reshape):
[[1 2]
[3 4]
[5 6]]
After Re-shape of the array:
(3, 2)

IV. Converting List and Tuple into ndarray

(a) List into Array

import numpy as np
x = [1,2,3]
print(“List:”,x)
a = np.asarray(x)
print(“As Array:”,a)

OUTPUT

List: [1, 2, 3]
As Array: [1 2 3]

(b) Tuple into Array

import numpy as np
x = (1,2,3)
print(“Tuple:”,x)
a = np.asarray(x)
print(“As Array:”,a)

OUTPUT

Tuple: (1, 2, 3)
As Array: [1 2 3]

V. Array Join and Split

(a) Join Array

This is similar to SQL joining two or more arrays into a single array using concatenate function

import numpy as np
arr1 = np.array([1, 2, 3])
arr2 = np.array([4, 5, 6])
print(arr1)
print(arr2)
arr = np.concatenate((arr1, arr2))
print(“After concatenate :”,arr)

OUTPUT

[1 2 3]
[4 5 6]
After concatenate : [1 2 3 4 5 6]

(b) Splitting Array

Splitting is the opposite operation of Joining, It breaks one array into multiple. using array_split()

import numpy as np
arr = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7,8])
print(“Actual Array:”,arr)
newarr = np.array_split(arr, 4)
print(“Split:”,newarr)

OUTPUT 

Actual Array: [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8]
Split: [array([1, 2]), array([3, 4]), array([5, 6]), array([7, 8])]

VI. Create an Array with Ranges

Start-value, Stop-value, Step-value

import numpy as np 
x = np.arange(10,50,5)
print (x)

OUTPUT

[10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45]

VII. Array Multiplication

This simple multiplication provided Row and Column counts are equal. This concept is so-called broadcasting. it has limitations 

  • Arrays should have exactly the same shape.
  • Arrays have the same number of dimensions and the length of each dimension.

a = np.array([1,2,3,4])
b = np.array([5,5,5,5])
print (a)
print (b)
c = a * b
print (c)

OUTPUT

[1 2 3 4]
[5 5 5 5]
[ 5 10 15 20]

As mentioned earlier, NumPy supports a number of mathematical operations to handling numbers.

  • Arithmetic Operations
  • Statistical Functions
  • Trigonometric Functions
  • Linear Algebra

(a) Arithmetic Operations

This is very straightforward operations, as we are very familiar with add(), subtract(), multiply(), and divide(). the array should have the same shape or should conform to array broadcasting rules.

a = np.array([2,2,2])
b = np.array([10,10,10])
print (‘First array:’,a)
print (‘Second array:’ ,b)
print (‘Add the two arrays:’,np.add(a,b))
print (‘Subtract the two arrays:’,np.subtract(a,b))
print (‘Multiply the two arrays:’ ,np.multiply(a,b))
print (‘Divide the two arrays:’ ,np.divide(a,b))

OUTPUT

First array: [2 2 2]
Second array: [10 10 10]
Add the two arrays: [12 12 12]
Subtract the two arrays: [-8 -8 -8]
Multiply the two arrays: [20 20 20]
Divide the two arrays: [0.2 0.2 0.2]

(b) Statistical Functions

NumPy has very useful statistical functions.

  • Minimum
  • Maximum
  • Percentile
  • Standard Deviation
  • Variance

import numpy as np
a = np.array([[3,7,5],[8,4,3],[2,4,9]])
print (‘Given array is:’)
print (a)
print (“Minimum :”,np.amax(a))
print (“Maximum :”,np.amin(a))
print (“Standard Deviation :”,np.std(a))
print (“Variance :”,np.var(a))
print(“Percentile :”,np.percentile(a, 4))

OUTPUT

Given array is:
[[3 7 5]
[8 4 3]
[2 4 9]]
Minimum : 9
Maximum : 2
Standard Deviation : 2.309401076758503
Variance : 5.333333333333333
Percentile : 2.32

(c) Linear Algebra

NumPy package contains numpy.linalg library, it provides linear algebra functions

import numpy.matlib
import numpy as np

a = np.array([[1,2],[3,4]])
b = np.array([[11,12],[13,14]])
print (“Dot Operation:”, np.dot(a,b))

a = np.array([[1,2],[3,4]])
b = np.array([[11,12],[13,14]])
print (“vdot :”,np.vdot(a,b))

OUTPUT

Dot Operation: [[37 40]
[85 92]]
vdot : 130

IX. NumPy with Matplotlib

As mentioned earlier, Numpy will work along with the Matplotlib library and helping us to create various charts. Quickly will see those. a really interesting piece of work.

import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
x = np.arange(1,11)
#simple linear equation
y = 2 * x + 5
plt.title(“Matplotlib demo”)
plt.xlabel(“height”)
plt.ylabel(“weight”)
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.show()

OUTPUT

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = np.arange(0, 4 * np.pi, 0.2)
y = np.sin(x)
plt.title(“Sine Wave Form”)
plt.plot(x, y)
plt.show()

OUTPUT

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
x = [5,15,10]
y = [12,16,18]
x2 = [6,9,14]
y2 = [6,15,7]
plt.bar(x, y, align = ‘center’)
plt.bar(x2, y2, align = ‘center’)
plt.ylabel(‘Performance’)
plt.xlabel(‘Slots’)
plt.show()

X. Working with a String array.

NumPy provides various options to play around with string.

import numpy as np
print (“Capitalize (hello world):”,np.char.capitalize(“hello world”))
print (“Title (hello how are you?):”,np.char.title(‘hello how are you?’))
print (“Lower (HELLO WORLD):”,np.char.lower([‘HELLO WORLD’]))
print (“Upper (hellow):”,np.char.upper(‘hellow’))
print (“Split (hello how are you?):”,np.char.split (‘hello how are you?’))
print (“Split (Python,Pandas,NumPy):”,np.char.split (‘Python,Pandas,NumPy’, sep = ‘,’))
print (“Strip (welcome watts):”,np.char.strip(‘welcome watts’,’w’))
print (“Join (dmy):”,np.char.join(‘:’,’dmy’))
print (“Join (dmy):”,np.char.join([‘:’,’-‘],[‘dmy’,’ymd’]))
print (“Replace (Python is a programming language):”,np.char.replace (‘Python is a programming language’, ‘programming’, ‘powerful programming’))
print (‘Concatenate two strings Hello,Mr.Babu:’,np.char.add([‘Hello’],[‘Mr.Babu’]))
print (‘Concatenation example [Hello, Hi],[ Shantha , Babu]:’,np.char.add([‘Hello’, ‘Hi’],[‘ Shantha ‘, ‘ Babu’]))

OUTPUT

Capitalize (hello world): Hello world
Title (hello how are you?): Hello How Are You?
Lower (HELLO WORLD): [‘hello world’]
Upper (hellow): HELLOW
Split (hello how are you?): [‘hello’, ‘how’, ‘are’, ‘you?’]
Split (Python,Pandas,NumPy): [‘Python’, ‘Pandas’, ‘NumPy’]
Strip (welcome watts): elcome watts
Join (dmy): d:m:y
Join (dmy): [‘d:m:y’ ‘y-m-d’]
Replace (Python is a programming language): Python is a powerful programming language
Concatenate two strings Hello, Mr.Babu: [‘Hello Mr.Babu’]
Concatenation example [Hello, Hi],[ Shantha , Babu]: [‘Hello Shantha ‘ ‘Hi Babu’]
