Python Numpy Differences – Before moving ahead, let’s know a bit of Python NumPy Products
Differences
Difference means subtracting two distinct elements.
E.g. for [1, 2, 3], the discrete difference would be [2-1, 3-2] = [1, 1]
To find out discrete difference, use the diff() function.
Example – Finding discrete difference of the array.
import numpy as np
array = np.array([5, 10, 15, 20])
updated_array = np.diff(array)
print(updated_array)
As a result, it returned an array after subtracting elements in itself. 20-15=5, 15-10=5, 10-5=5, finally it returned [5 5 5].
This process can be continued by specifying parameter n.
E.g. for [1, 2, 3], the discrete difference with parameter n = 5 would be [5-1, 5-2, 5-3] = [4, 3, 2], then, since n=5, we will do it again, with the new value: [5-5, 5-5] = [0, 0]
Example – Finding discrete difference of the array twice.
import numpy as np array = np.array([5, 15, 25, 30]) updated_array = np.diff(array, n=2) print(updated_array)
Output - [ 0 -5]
As shown above, it returns an array [0 -5] because 15-5=10, 25-15=10, 30-25=5 AND 10-10=0 and 5-10=-5. Finally it returned [0 5]
