I have a question with regards to the outputs of numpy.piecewise.
my code:
e=110
f=np.piecewise(e,[e<120,e>=120],[1/4,1])
print(f)
As a result i get: 0 and not the desired 0.25
Can someone explain me why piecewise seems to be rounding my answer? Is there a way to go around this without doing?
e=110
f=np.piecewise(e,[e<120,e>=120],[1,4])/4
print(f)
many thanks in advance
From the np.piecewise docs:
The output is the same shape and type as x
Integer in, integer out. If you want a floating-point output, you need to pass a float in:
e = 110.0
Additionally, if you're on Python 2, 1/4 will already just be 0 because that's floor division on Python 2, so you'll need to write something like 1.0/4.0 or just 0.25.
