Introduction
In this lab, you will learn about the numpy.partition()
function of the Numpy library. This function is used to split up the input array according to the given arguments, and returns the partitioned copy of the input array. The numpy.partition()
function is helpful when we want to quickly find the kth smallest or largest element in an array, without sorting the whole array.
VM Tips
After the VM startup is done, click the top left corner to switch to the Notebook tab to access Jupyter Notebook for practice.
Sometimes, you may need to wait a few seconds for Jupyter Notebook to finish loading. The validation of operations cannot be automated because of limitations in Jupyter Notebook.
If you face issues during learning, feel free to ask Labby. Provide feedback after the session, and we will promptly resolve the problem for you.
