numpy.linspace() - ( Creating Arrays with NumPy )
Heading h2
Syntax
numpy.linspace(start, stop, num=50, endpoint=True, retstep=False, dtype=None, axis=0)
Example
import numpy as np
# create an array of 10 values ranging from 0 to 1
a = np.linspace(0, 1, 10)
print(a)
Output
[0. 0.11111111 0.22222222 0.33333333 0.44444444 0.55555556
0.66666667 0.77777778 0.88888889 1. ]
Explanation
The numpy.linspace()
function returns an array of evenly spaced numbers over a specified interval. The function takes in the arguments start
, stop
, and num
. start
is the starting value of the sequence, stop
is the ending value of the sequence, and num
is the number of evenly spaced values in the interval.
The function also takes in optional arguments such as endpoint
, retstep
, dtype
, and axis
.
Use
The numpy.linspace()
function can be used to create an array of evenly spaced numbers over a specified interval. This function is commonly used in scientific and data analysis applications for generating sequences of numbers that can be used as inputs in mathematical equations, data visualization, or in other applications where evenly spaced numbers are required.
