circular numpy array indices

Question

I have a 1-D numpy array a = [1,2,3,4,5,6] and a function that gets two inputs, starting_index and ending_index, and returns a[stari

Answer 1

Unfortunatly you cannot do this with slicing, you'll need to concatonate to two segments:

import numpy as np

a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
if starting_index > ending_index:
    part1 = a[start_index:]
    part2 = a[:end_index]
    result = np.concatenate([part1, part2])
else:
    result = a[start_index:end_index]
