Python equivalent of R's c()?












-3














This question has already been asked here: Python equivalent of R c() function, but unfortunately the solution given doesn't exactly apply to me.



For instance, if I combine values, into a vector or list, in R like so:



x = c(2,3,6,8)


I can preform calculations on that list, for example:



x*2
Output:
4 6 12 16


However, I'm not sure how to achieve the same thing in Python. The previously asked question (in the link above) deals with a list of numbers in a particular range. for example,



x = list(range(1:10))


I am wondering, how do I define a list of numbers (not in a range) in Python?

    If you're using numpy, then you just do x = np.array([2, 3, 6, 8]) then x * 2 ? eg - you actually give it a list of numbers...

  • (1) That does define a list -- it just creates it from a range; (2) if you want elementwise operations on vectors/matrices/n-dim arrays, use numpy.

in python, you could use numpy arrays to do such things



import numpy
x = numpy.array([2, 3, 7])
y = x*2


and y will be equal to numpy.array([4, 6, 14])
