Hi,

I'm trying to increment an array using indexing and a second array for increment values (since it might be a little tedious to explain, see below for a short example).

Using "direct" indexing, the values in the example are incremented by 1 only while I want to achieve the alternative behavior. My question is whether there is such function in numpy or if there a re better way to achieve the same result ? (I would like to avoid the while statement)

I found and adapted the alternative solution from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2004364/increment-numpy-array-with-repeat... but it is only for a fixed increment from what I've understood.

import numpy as np

n,p = 5,100 nodes = np.zeros( n, [('value', 'f4', 1)] ) links = np.zeros( p, [('source', 'i4', 1), ('target', 'i4', 1)]) links['source'] = np.random.randint(0, n, p) links['target'] = np.random.randint(0, n, p)

targets = links['target'] # Indices can be repeated K = np.ones(len(targets)) # Note K could be anything

# Direct indexing nodes['value'] = 0 nodes['value'][targets] += K print nodes

# "Alternative" indexing nodes['value'] = 0 B = np.bincount(targets)

bincount takes a weights argument which should do exactly what you are looking for. - Sebastian

while B.any(): I = np.argwhere(B>=1) nodes['value'][I] += K[I] B = np.maximum(B-1,0) print nodes
