到目前为止，我们了解了如何使用索引进行切片以及选择 ndarray 元素。当我们知道要选择的元素的确切索引时，这些方法很有用。但是，在很多情况下，我们不知道要选择的元素的索引。例如，假设有一个 10,000 x 10,000 ndarray，其中包含从 1 到 15,000 的随机整数，我们只想选择小于 20 的整数。这时候就要用到布尔型索引，对于布尔型索引，我们将使用逻辑参数（而不是确切的索引）选择元素。我们来看一些示例：
# We create a 5 x 5 ndarray that contains integers from 0 to 24
X = np.arange(25).reshape(5, 5)
# We print X
print()
print('Original X = \n', X)
print()
# We use Boolean indexing to select elements in X:
print('The elements in X that are greater than 10:', X[X > 10])
print('The elements in X that lees than or equal to 7:', X[X <= 7])
print('The elements in X that are between 10 and 17:', X[(X > 10) & (X < 17)])
# We use Boolean indexing to assign the elements that are between 10 and 17 the value of -1
X[(X > 10) & (X < 17)] = -1
# We print X
print()
print('X = \n', X)
print()
Original X =
[[ 0 1 2 3 4]
[ 5 6 7 8 9]
[10 11 12 13 14]
[15 16 17 18 19]
[20 21 22 23 24]]
The elements in X that are greater than 10: [11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24]
The elements in X that lees than or equal to 7: [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7]
The elements in X that are between 10 and 17: [11 12 13 14 15 16]
X =
[[ 0 1 2 3 4]
[ 5 6 7 8 9]
[10 -1 -1 -1 -1]
[-1 -1 17 18 19]
[20 21 22 23 24]]
除了布尔型索引之外，NumPy 还允许进行集合运算。可以用来比较 ndarray，例如查找两个 ndarray 中的相同元素。我们来看一些示例：
# We create a rank 1 ndarray
x = np.array([1,2,3,4,5])
# We create a rank 1 ndarray
y = np.array([6,7,2,8,4])
# We print x
print()
print('x = ', x)
# We print y
print()
print('y = ', y)
# We use set operations to compare x and y:
print()
print('The elements that are both in x and y:', np.intersect1d(x,y))
print('The elements that are in x that are not in y:', np.setdiff1d(x,y))
print('All the elements of x and y:',np.union1d(x,y))
x = [1 2 3 4 5]
y = [6 7 2 8 4]
The elements that are both in x and y: [2 4]
The elements that are in x that are not in y: [1 3 5]
All the elements of x and y: [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8]
我们还可以在 NumPy 中对 ndarray 进行排序。我们将了解如何使用 np.sort() 函数以不同的方式对秩为 1 和 2 的 ndarray 进行排序。和我们之前看到的其他函数一样，sort 函数也可以当做方法使用。但是，对于此函数来说，数据在内存中的存储方式有很大变化。当 np.sort() 当做函数使用时，它不会对ndarray进行就地排序，即不更改被排序的原始 ndarray。但是，如果将 sort 当做方法，ndarray.sort() 会就地排序 ndarray，即原始数组会变成排序后的数组。我们来看一些示例：
# We create an unsorted rank 1 ndarray
x = np.random.randint(1,11,size=(10,))
# We print x
print()
print('Original x = ', x)
# We sort x and print the sorted array using sort as a function.
print()
print('Sorted x (out of place):', np.sort(x))
# When we sort out of place the original array remains intact. To see this we print x again
print()
print('x after sorting:', x)
Original x = [9 6 4 4 9 4 8 4 4 7]
Sorted x (out of place): [4 4 4 4 4 6 7 8 9 9]
x after sorting: [9 6 4 4 9 4 8 4 4 7]
注意，np.sort() 会对数组进行排序，但是如果被排序的 ndarray 具有重复的值，np.sort() 将在排好序的数组中保留这些值。但是，我们可以根据需要，同时使用 sort 函数和 unique 函数仅对 x 中的唯一元素进行排序。我们来看看如何对上述 x 中的唯一元素进行排序：
# We sort x but only keep the unique elements in x
print(np.sort(np.unique(x)))
[4 6 7 8 9]
最后，我们来看看如何将 sort 当做方法，原地对 ndarray 进行排序：
# We create an unsorted rank 1 ndarray
x = np.random.randint(1,11,size=(10,))
# We print x
print()
print('Original x = ', x)
# We sort x and print the sorted array using sort as a method.
x.sort()
# When we sort in place the original array is changed to the sorted array. To see this we print x again
print()
print('x after sorting:', x)
Original x = [9 9 8 1 1 4 3 7 2 8]
x after sorting: [1 1 2 3 4 7 8 8 9 9]
在对秩为 2 的 ndarray 进行排序时，我们需要在 np.sort() 函数中指定是按行排序，还是按列排序。为此，我们可以使用关键字 axis。我们来看一些示例：
# We create an unsorted rank 2 ndarray
X = np.random.randint(1,11,size=(5,5))
# We print X
print()
print('Original X = \n', X)
print()
# We sort the columns of X and print the sorted array
print()
print('X with sorted columns :\n', np.sort(X, axis = 0))
# We sort the rows of X and print the sorted array
print()
print('X with sorted rows :\n', np.sort(X, axis = 1))
Original X =
[[6 1 7 6 3]
[3 9 8 3 5]
[6 5 8 9 3]
[2 1 5 7 7]
[9 8 1 9 8]]
X with sorted columns :
[[2 1 1 3 3]
[3 1 5 6 3]
[6 5 7 7 5]
[6 8 8 9 7]
[9 9 8 9 8]]
X with sorted rows :
[[1 3 6 6 7]
[3 3 5 8 9]
[3 5 6 8 9]
[1 2 5 7 7]
[1 8 8 9 9]]
