What is pickle in Python?

The pickle module implements binary protocols for serializing and de-serializing a Python object structure. “Pickling” is the process whereby a Python object hierarchy is converted into a byte stream, and “unpickling” is the inverse operation, whereby a byte stream (from a binary file or bytes-like object) is converted back into an object hierarchy. Pickling (and unpickling) is alternatively known as “serialization”, “marshalling,” or “flattening”; however, to avoid confusion, the terms used here are “pickling” and “unpickling”.

Excercise and Answers

1) Create an arbitrary one dimensional array called "v".
Ans:>>>import numpy as np
>>>v=np.arange(5)




2) Create a new array which consists of the odd indices of previously created array "v"?
Ans:
>>>import numpy as np
>>>v=np.arange(5)
>>> odd_elements = v[1::2]
>>> odd_elements
array([1, 3, 5, 7, 9])




3) Create a new array in backwards ordering from v
Ans:
>>>import numpy as np
>>>v=np.arange(5)
>>> rv=v[::-1]
>>> rv
array([9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0])



4) What will be the output of the following code:

   a = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
   b = a[1:4]    #######  array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
   b[0] = 200   #######  array([200,   3,   4])
   print(a[1])   ####### 200

What is arange?

There are functions provided by Numpy to create evenly spaced values within a given interval. One uses a given distance 'arange' and the other one 'linspace' needs the number of elements and creates the distance automatically.


The syntax of arange:
arange([start,] stop[, step,], dtype=None)

It is nearly equivalent to the Python built-in function "range", but arange returns an ndarray rather than a list iterator as range does.
