What is the ma.masked_greater() function in NumPy?
Overview
The masked_greater() function in NumPy is used to mask an array, where the value of the element of the array is greater than the specified value in the function.
Syntax
ma.masked_greater(x, value)
Syntax for the masked_greater() function
Parameters
This function takes the following parameter values:
x: This is the input array. This is a required parameter.valueThis is the value to which elements of the array are masked if they are greater. This is a required parameter.
Return value
This function returns a masked array.
Example
# A code to illustrate the masked_greater() function# importing the necessary librariesimport numpy as npimport numpy.ma as ma# creating an input arraymy_array = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])# masking the values greater than 2mask_array =ma.masked_greater(my_array, 2)print(mask_array)
Explanation
- Line 4–5: We import the necessary library and module.
- Line 8: We create an input array,
my_array. - Line 11: We mask the values greater than
2in the input array using themasked_greater()function. The result is assigned to a variable,mask_array. - Line 13: We print the masked array,
mask_array.
