Introduction

Let’s see now some exercises. First ones will be given in two versions: first ones usually adopt for cycles and are thus slow, second ones are denoted ‘pro’ and avoid loops using all the power offered by Numpy. In particular in many cases you can obtain very efficient and compact programs by using slices in smart ways.

Numpy - this notebook

  1. not natively available in Python

  2. efficient

  3. many libraries for scientific calculations are based on Numpy (scipy, pandas)

  4. syntax to access elements is slightly different from list of lists

  5. in rare cases might give problems of installation and/or conflicts (implementation is not pure Python)

ATTENTION

Following exercises contain tests with asserts. To understand how to carry them out, read first Error handling and testing

frame

✪✪✪ RETURN a NEW Numpy matrix of n rows and n columns, in which all the values are zero except those on borders, which must be equal to a given k

For example, frame(4, 7.0) must give:

array([[7.0, 7.0, 7.0, 7.0],
       [7.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0],
       [7.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0],
       [7.0, 7.0, 7.0, 7.0]])

Ingredients:

  • create a matrix filled with zeros. ATTENTION: which dimensions does it have? Do you need n or k ? Read WELL the text.

For this first version, try filling the rows and columns using for in range and writing directly in the single cells

import numpy as np

def frame(n, k):
    raise Exception('TODO IMPLEMENT ME !')


expected_mat = np.array( [[7.0, 7.0, 7.0, 7.0],
                         [7.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0],
                         [7.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0],
                         [7.0, 7.0, 7., 7.0]])
# all_close return True if all the values in the first matrix are close enough
# (that is, within a given tolerance) to corresponding values in the second
assert np.allclose(frame(4, 7.0), expected_mat)

expected_mat = np.array( [ [7.0]
                       ])
assert np.allclose(frame(1, 7.0), expected_mat)

expected_mat = np.array( [ [7.0, 7.0],
                         [7.0, 7.0]
                       ])
assert np.allclose(frame(2, 7.0), expected_mat)

Exercise - frameslices

✪✪✪ Solve the precious exercise, this time using 4 slices

  • DO NOT use for nor while loops

Exercise - framefill

✪✪✪ Solve the precious exercise, this using np.full function and with only one slice

  • DO NOT use for nor while loops

Show solution
[4]:

def framefill(n, k): raise Exception('TODO IMPLEMENT ME !') r1 = np.array( [[7.0, 7.0, 7.0, 7.0], [7.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0], [7.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0], [7.0, 7.0, 7., 7.0]]) # all_close return True if all the values in the first matrix are close enough # (that is, within a given tolerance) to corresponding values in the second assert np.allclose(framefill(4, 7.0), r1) r2 = np.array( [ [7.0] ]) assert np.allclose(framefill(1, 7.0), r2) r3 = np.array( [ [7.0, 7.0], [7.0, 7.0]]) assert np.allclose(framefill(2, 7.0), r3)

Exercise - avg_rows

✪✪✪ Takes a numpy matrix n x m and RETURN a NEW numpy matrix consisting in a single column in which the values are the average of the values in corresponding rows of input matrix

Example:

Input: 5x4 matrix

3 2 1 4
6 2 3 5
4 3 6 2
4 6 5 4
7 2 9 3

Output: 5x1 matrix

(3+2+1+4)/4
(6+2+3+5)/4
(4+3+6+2)/4
(4+6+5+4)/4
(7+2+9+3)/4

Basic version ingredients (slow)

  • create a matrix n x 1 to return, filling it with zeros

  • visit all cells of original matrix with two nested fors

  • during visit, accumulate in the matrix to return the sum of elements takes from each row of original matrix

  • once completed the sum of a row, you can divide it by the dimension of columns of original matrix

  • return the matrix

Pro version (fast):

  • try using axis parameter and reshape

Exercise - matrot

✪✪✪ RETURN a NEW Numpy matrix which has the numbers of input matrix rotated by a column.

With rotation we mean that:

  • if a number of input matrix is found in column j, in the output matrix it will be in the column j+1 in the same row.

  • if a number is found in the last column, in the output matrix it will be in the zertoth column

Example:

If we have as input:

np.array(   [
                [0,1,0],
                [1,1,0],
                [0,0,0],
                [0,1,1]
            ])

We expect as output:

np.array(   [
                [0,0,1],
                [0,1,1],
                [0,0,0],

Exercise - chessboard

✪✪✪ RETURN a NEW Numpy matrix of n rows and n columns, in which all cells alternate zeros and ones.

Exercise - quadrants

✪✪✪ Given a matrix 2n * 2n, divide the matrix in 4 equal square parts (see example) and RETURN a NEW matrix 2 * 2 containing the average of each quadrant.

We assume the matrix is always of even dimensions

HINT: to divide by two and obtain an integer number, use // operator

Example:

1, 2 , 5 , 7
4, 1 , 8 , 0
2, 0 , 5 , 1
0, 2 , 1 , 1

can be divided in

  1, 2 | 5 , 7
  4, 1 | 8 , 0
-----------------
  2, 0 | 5 , 1
  0, 2 | 1 , 1

and returns

(1+2+4+1)/ 4  | (5+7+8+0)/4                        2.0 , 5.0
-----------------------------            =>        1.0 , 2.0
