Question

i am using this:

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.histogram.html

i have an list a that i want to use like this:

numpy.histogram(a,bins=[0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4...6], range=[0:6])

1. how do i include a set of bins 0.1 through 6 in 0.1 intervals?
2. how do i specify a range of 0 through 6?

Answer 1

Perhaps you are looking for np.linspace(0,6,num=61) or np.arange(0,6.1,0.1):

import numpy as np
a=np.random.random(100)*6
hist=np.histogram(a,bins=np.linspace(0,6,num=61))
