Mask elements in NumPy array based on condition using Logical operations
NumPy: Masked Arrays Exercise-9 with Solution
Write a NumPy program that creates a masked array and uses logical operations to mask elements based on a condition.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
import numpy as np
import numpy.ma as ma
# Create a 2D NumPy array of shape (4, 4) with random integers
array_2d = np.random.randint(0, 100, size=(4, 4))
# Define the condition to mask elements greater than 50
condition = array_2d > 50
# Create a masked array from the 2D array using the condition
masked_array = ma.masked_array(array_2d, mask=condition)
# Print the original array and the masked array
print('Original 2D array:\n', array_2d)
print('Masked array (elements > 50 are masked):\n', masked_array)
Output:
Original 2D array: [[81 4 20 37] [76 37 38 18] [65 42 24 37] [15 62 57 27]] Masked array (elements > 50 are masked): [[-- 4 20 37] [-- 37 38 18] [-- 42 24 37] [15 -- -- 27]]
Explanation:
- Import Libraries:
- Imported numpy as "np" for array creation and manipulation.
- Imported numpy.ma as "ma" for creating and working with masked arrays.
- Create 2D NumPy Array:
- Create a 2D NumPy array named array_2d with random integers ranging from 0 to 99 and a shape of (4, 4).
- Define Condition:
- Define a condition to mask elements in the array that are greater than 50.
- Create Masked Array:
- Create a masked array from the 2D array using ma.masked_array, applying the condition as the mask. Elements greater than 50 are masked.
- Print the original 2D array and the masked array to verify operation.
