NumPy: Create a 1-D array of 20 element spaced evenly on a log scale between 2. and 5., exclusive
20 Log-Spaced Values (2–5)
Write a NumPy program to create a 1-D array of 20 elements spaced evenly on a log scale between 2. and 5., exclusive.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
# Importing the NumPy library with an alias 'np'
import numpy as np
# Generating an array of 20 values logarithmically spaced between 10^2 and 10^5 (excluding the endpoint)
x = np.logspace(2., 5., 20, endpoint=False)
# Printing the generated array
print(x)
Sample Output:
[ 100. 141.25375446 199.5262315 281.83829313
398.10717055 562.34132519 794.32823472 1122.0184543

Explanation:
In the above code -
x = np.logspace(2., 5., 20, endpoint=False): This line creates a NumPy array ‘x’ using the np.logspace() function. The function takes four arguments: the start value (2.0), the stop value (5.0), the number of samples to generate (20), and whether to include the endpoint (False). It generates a sequence of 20 values that are evenly spaced on a logarithmic scale between 10^2 (100) and 10^5 (100000), excluding the endpoint.
