Creating Array using arange()
2 min readJul 13, 2024
The arange()
function is part of the NumPy library in Python and is used to create arrays with regularly incrementing values.
Syntax:
arange([start,] stop[, step,], dtype=None, *, like=None)
Here’s a breakdown of its parameters:
- start (optional): The starting value of the sequence. The default is 0.
- stop (required): The end value of the sequence.
- step (optional): The spacing between values. The default is 1.
- dtype (optional): The data type of the output array. If not given, it is inferred from the other input arguments.
Use Cases:
- Generating sequences of numbers for iteration in loops.
- Creating time intervals.
- Producing sample points for functions.
Creating 1-D array using arange()
Note: Can’t create a 2-D array in arange(). But we can convert arange() into a 2-D or 3-D Array using reshape.
That’s it for now, let’s deep dive into NumPy in my upcoming blogs.
