a numarray question

2006-02-15 Thread avharut
hello everyone

would anyone please tell me what is the best (fastest) way of replacing
values in numarray arrays?

lets say i have an array that may contain 0s, and i just want to get
rid of those 0s by replacing them with another number. what would be
the most efficient way to do that?

many thanks in advance!

thanks guys!


import timeit
first_way = "the_array[the_array == 0] = 5.0"
second_way = "another_array = numarray.choose(the_array == 0,
(the_array, 5.0))"
some_third_way = """\
indx = numarray.where(the_array == 0)[0]
another_array = numarray.put(the_array, indx, len(indx) * [5.0,])
"""
initial_statements = 'import numarray; the_array =
numarray.array(int(1.0e6) * [1.0, 0.0])'
t1 = timeit.Timer(first_way, initial_statements)
t2 = timeit.Timer(second_way, initial_statements)
t3 = timeit.Timer(some_third_way, initial_statements)
print '1st way takes', round(t1.timeit(number=100) / 100, 4),
'seconds\n',\
   '2nd way takes', round(t2.timeit(number=100) / 100, 4),
'seconds\n',\
   '3rd way takes', round(t3.timeit(number=100) / 100, 4),
'seconds'


the above written stuff printed like:

1st way takes 0.0624 seconds
2nd way takes 0.0948 seconds
3rd way takes 0.0641 seconds

no any other idea on how else one might do the replacement and the
difference among those three seems to be not very big, well, i expected
something bigger.

p.s. gonna use the first way =)
