[Numpy-discussion] Simple problem. Is it possible without a loop?

[Robert Elsner]

I suspect the author meant that instead (or a simple minus in front of
the delta). Just posting because I wondered the same this morning after
looking at it (after the first misunderstanding).
It looks much better to me than the cumsum approach with its hidden test
for true using .astype(numpy.int)


x= numpy.arange(10.)
delta=3
y=[x[0]]
for value in x:
    if (value - y[-1]) > delta:
        y.append(value)
        
        
print y
