Compare arrays
Out of the box, you can also use comparison operators with NumPy arrays.
Remember areas
, the list of area measurements for different rooms in your house from Introduction to Python? This time there's two NumPy arrays: my_house
and your_house
. They both contain the areas for the kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom in the same order, so you can compare them.
This exercise is part of the course
Intermediate Python
Exercise instructions
Using comparison operators, generate boolean arrays that answer the following questions:
- Which areas in
my_house
are greater than or equal to18
? - You can also compare two NumPy arrays element-wise. Which areas in
my_house
are smaller than the ones inyour_house
? - Make sure to wrap both commands in a
print()
statement so that you can inspect the output!
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
# Create arrays
import numpy as np
my_house = np.array([18.0, 20.0, 10.75, 9.50])
your_house = np.array([14.0, 24.0, 14.25, 9.0])
# my_house greater than or equal to 18
# my_house less than your_house
