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

An alternative that you can use is the numpy roll function combined with indexing:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import numpy as np

def circular_array(starting_index, ending_index):

    idx = np.arange(1,7)
    idx = np.roll(idx, -starting_index)[:(len(idx)-starting_index+ending_index)%len(idx)]

    return idx


a = circular_array(4, 1)
print a
