Video X: Random Functions, Aggregation, and

Conditional Logic in NumPy

🔹 1. Importing NumPy
import numpy as np

● Common alias used is np for convenience.

🔹 2. np.random.random()
np.random.random()

● Returns a random float in the range [0.0, 1.0).

● Each time it's called, it gives a new value.

Example:

np.random.random() # Might return 0.558...

🔹 3. np.random.seed()
np.random.seed(1)
np.random.random()

● Sets the random seed for reproducibility.

● Ensures that the same random number is generated each time after setting the
seed.

Example:

np.random.seed(1)
np.random.random() # Always gives 0.417022004702574

🔹 4. np.random.uniform(low, high, size)


np.random.uniform(1, 100, 10).reshape(2, 5)

● Returns a random float array between low and high.

● size defines how many values to generate.

Example:

np.random.uniform(1, 100, 10).reshape(2,5)


# Returns a 2x5 array with random floats between 1 and 100

🔹 5. np.random.randint(low, high, size)


np.random.randint(1, 100, 10).reshape(2,5)

● Generates random integers between low and high (exclusive).

● Can produce multi-dimensional arrays using .reshape().

Example:

np.random.randint(1, 100, 10)


# Returns: [19, 85, 12, 29, ...]

🔹 6. np.max() & np.min()


a = np.random.randint(1, 100, 10)
np.max(a)
np.min(a)

● Returns maximum and minimum values in an array.


Example:

np.max(a) # e.g., 97
np.min(a) # e.g., 8

🔹 7. np.argmax() & np.argmin()


np.argmax(a)
np.argmin(a)

● Returns the index of the max/min value in the array.

Example:

np.argmax(a) # e.g., 1 → max value is at index 1

🔹 8. Modifying Array Elements Conditionally (In-Place)


a[a % 2 != 0] = -1

● Changes odd values in array a to -1.

Original a:

[95, 97, 87, 14, 10, 8, 64, 62, 23, 58]

Modified a:

[-1, -1, -1, 14, 10, 8, 64, 62, -1, 58]

🔹 9. np.where(condition, true_value, false_value)


out = np.where(a % 2 != 0, -1, a)

● Creates a new array based on a condition.


● Does not modify the original array.

Example:

np.where(a % 2 != 0, -1, a)
# Replaces odd numbers with -1

🔹 10. np.random.randint() + Sorting


b = np.random.randint(1, 50, 10)
b = np.sort(b)

● Creates and sorts an array of random integers.

Before sorting:

[8, 4, 7, 22, 44, 13, 27, ...]

After sorting:

[4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 22, 25, ...]

🔹 11. np.percentile(array, q)
np.percentile(b, 25)

● Returns the value below which q% of data lies.

Example:

np.percentile(b, 25) # Returns value such that 25% of elements are


smaller than it

🔹 12. Type Conversion Examples


np.int64(1) # Converts to 64-bit integer
np.float64(5.5) # Converts to 64-bit float

Summary of Key Functions
