Question

I have two array of numbers t,x:

import numpy
t = numpy.arange(0,10,0.001)
x = numpy.sin(t)

I want to produce other arrays of the same size which are the element-by-element maximum or minimum:

y1 = ?max(x,2)
y2 = ?min(x,t)

where ?max and ?min stand for unknown functions. The numpy.max() and numpy.min() seem to find the max and min of an entire array, which is not what I want.

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

You’re looking for numpy.minimum() and numpy.maximum() (not to be confused with numpy.min() and numpy.max()).
