Python | Numpy numpy.ndarray.sub()

0 0 1 minute read

With the help of Numpy numpy.ndarray.__sub__(), We can subtract a particular value that is provided as a parameter in the ndarray.__sub__() method. Value will be subtracted to each and every element in a numpy array.

Syntax: ndarray.__sub__($self, value, /)

Return: self-value

Example #1 :
In this example we can see that each and every element in an array is subtracted with the value given as a parameter in method ndarray.__sub__(). Remember one thing it wouldn’t work for double type values.

# import the important module in python 
import numpy as np 
   
# make an array with numpy 
gfg = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) 
   
# applying ndarray.__sub__() method 
print(gfg.__sub__(5)) 

Output:

[-4 -3 -2 -1  0]

Example #2 :

# import the important module in python 
import numpy as np 
   
# make an array with numpy 
gfg = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 
                [6, 5, 4, 3, 2]]) 
   
# applying ndarray.__sub__() method 
print(gfg.__sub__(5))
