This is regarding numpy array. I am a bit confused how parts of the array are being accessed in the example below.1 import scipy as sp 2 data = sp.genfromtxt("web_traffic.tsv", delimiter="\t") 3 print(data[:10]) 4 x = data[:,0] 5 y = data[:,1] Apparently, line 3 prints the first 10 entries in the array line 4 & 5 is to extract all rows but only 1st and second columns alone for x and y respectively. I am confused as to how data[:10] gives the first 10 rows while data[:,0] gives all rows
Numpy ordering is [rows,columns,...]. Things you don't provide an explicit answer for are assumed to be "all", which in Python syntax is ":". The reason for THAT goes into how slices are constructed.
So your example 3 could also be written print(data[0:10,:]), which sets rows to the range starting with 0 and ending before 10, and columns to everything.
