What is the difference between NumPy broadcasting and replication?
NumPy broadcasting allows arrays of different shapes to be used together in operations, while replication involves repeating an array to match another's shape.
Can you give me an example of broadcasting?
Sure! If you have an array of shape (3, 1) and another of shape (1, 4), broadcasting allows them to be combined to create an array of shape (3, 4).
And what about replication?
Replication would involve taking a smaller array and repeating its elements to match the shape of a larger array, like using np.tile()
.
When should I use broadcasting instead of replication?
Use broadcasting when you want to perform element-wise operations without creating large intermediate arrays, as it's more memory efficient.
