NumPy: Replace all elements of NumPy array that are greater than specified array

NumPy: Array Object Exercise-88 with Solution

Replace Array Elements > Specified

Write a NumPy program to replace all elements of NumPy array that are greater than the specified array.

Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Importing the NumPy library and aliasing it as 'np'
import numpy as np

# Creating a NumPy array 'x' with multiple rows and columns
x = np.array([[ 0.42436315, 0.48558583, 0.32924763],
              [ 0.7439979, 0.58220701, 0.38213418],
              [ 0.5097581, 0.34528799, 0.1563123 ]])

# Printing a message indicating the original array will be displayed
print("Original array:")

# Printing the original array 'x' with its elements
print(x)

# Printing a message indicating the replacement of elements in the array greater than 0.5 with 0.5
print("Replace all elements of the said array with .5 which are greater than .5")

# Replacing all elements in the array 'x' that are greater than 0.5 with the value 0.5
x[x > 0.5] = 0.5

# Printing the modified array 'x' after replacing elements greater than 0.5 with 0.5
print(x)

Sample Output:

Original array:                                                        
[[ 0.42436315  0.48558583  0.32924763]                                 
 [ 0.7439979   0.58220701  0.38213418]                                 
 [ 0.5097581   0.34528799  0.1563123 ]]                                
Replace all elements of the said array with .5 which are greater than .
5                                                                      
[[ 0.42436315  0.48558583  0.32924763]                                 
 [ 0.5         0.5         0.38213418]                                 
 [ 0.5         0.34528799  0.1563123 ]]

Explanation:

The above code demonstrates how to limit the values of a NumPy array based on a condition.

x = np.array(...) – This line ceates a 3x3 NumPy array 'x' with given elements.

x[x > .5] = .5 – This line uses boolean indexing to identify the elements in 'x' that are greater than 0.5. For all elements in 'x' that satisfy this condition, set their values to 0.5.
