Creating a null vector of size 10 with the fifth value as 1 in NumPy means creating a one-dimensional NumPy array of size 10, where all the elements are initialized to 0, except for the fifth element, which is initialized to 1. We might use this operation for a variety of purposes, depending on the specific needs of our code. Here are a few examples:
Initializing a weight vector.
Testing code that relies on a specific value.
Creating a placeholder for missing data.
Here are three different methods to create a null vector of size 10 with the fifth value as 1 in NumPy:
1. Using the "np.zeros()" and "array indexing":
This method involves creating a null vector of size 10 using the `np.zeros()` function, and then setting the fifth value to 1 using array indexing.
Example:
2. Using the "np.eye()" function:
This method involves creating a 1D identity matrix using the `np.eye()` function, and specifying the diagonal index for the value of 1.
Example:
3. Using the "np.concatenate()" function:
This method involves creating two null vectors of size 4 and 6 using the `np.zeros()` function, concatenating them with a value of 1 in between using the `np.concatenate()` function, and obtaining the desired null vector of size 10.
