my array subset method could be improved?

[Jim O'D]

Hi all

I have an array a=array([2,3,1]).

I want to extract an array with all the elements of a that are less than 0.

Method 1.
new = array([i for i in a if i < 0])

Method 2.
new = a[nonzero(a<0)]

I'm using Numeric arrays but can't seem to find a function that does this.

Am I missing a more obvious way to do it quickly?

Thanks

Jim

new = Numeric.compress(Numeric.less(a,0),a)

You could use filter (which is planned to be removed in Py3000). E.g.
"array(filter(lambda x: x < 0, (-1, 2, -4, 5, 55, 9, -73, 5)))"

I tend to like "array(i for i in (-1, 2, -4, 5, 55, 9, -73, 5) if i <
0)" better though. (And its even shorter).

HTH,
Peter

Ah, thank you!

Sorry about subject mangle, I gave a silly example first time round.
