NumPy: Get the n largest values of an array

NumPy: Random Exercise-16 with Solution

Write a NumPy program to get the n largest values of an array.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import numpy as np
x = np.arange(10)
print("Original array:")
print(x)
np.random.shuffle(x)
n = 1
print (x[np.argsort(x)[-n:]])

Sample Output:

Original array:                                                        
[0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]

Previous: Write a NumPy program to find the closest value (to a given scalar) in an array.
Next: Write a NumPy program to create a three-dimension array with shape (300,400,5) and set to a variable. Fill the array elements with values using unsigned integer (0 to 255).

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
