NumPy: Create a vector with values ​​from 0 to 20 and change the sign of the numbers in the range from 9 to 15

NumPy: Basic Exercise-22 with Solution

Write a NumPy program to create a vector with values ​​from 0 to 20 and change the sign of the numbers in the range from 9 to 15.

Sample Solution :

Python Code :

# Importing the NumPy library with an alias 'np'
import numpy as np

# Creating a NumPy array 'x' containing integers from 0 to 20 using np.arange()
x = np.arange(21)

# Printing a message indicating the original vector 'x'
print("Original vector:")
print(x)

# Printing a message indicating changing the sign of numbers in the range from 9 to 15
# Using boolean indexing, multiplying elements between 9 and 15 by -1 to change their sign
x[(x >= 9) & (x <= 15)] *= -1

# Printing the modified vector 'x'
print("After changing the sign of the numbers in the range from 9 to 15:")
print(x) 

Sample Output:

Original vector:
[ 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20]
After changing the sign of the numbers in the range from 9 to 15:
[  0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8  -9 -10 -11 -12 -13 -14 -15  16  17
  18  19  20]                         

Explanation:

The above code creates an array of integers from 0 to 20 and negates the elements with values between 9 and 15 (inclusive).

At first the np.arange() function creates a NumPy array 'x' containing integers from 0 to 20.

Secondly x[(x >= 9) & (x <= 15)] *= -1 uses boolean indexing to modify a specific subset of elements in the array 'x'. The condition (x >= 9) & (x <= 15) creates a boolean mask that is True for elements with values between 9 and 15 (inclusive), and False for all other elements. The mask is then applied to the array 'x', and the selected elements (those with True values in the mask) are multiplied by -1, effectively negating them.
