Now, we can use Numpy to calculate the factorial of an integer. Import Numpyįirst, if you haven’t done so already, you need to import Numpy with the following code: Here, we’re going to use the Numpy factorial function (i.e., ). Calculate the factorials for the values of a Numpy arrayĮXAMPLE 1: Use the Numpy factorial function on an integer.Use the Numpy factorial function on an integer.That being the case, () is actually more flexible.Įxamples: how to calculate factorials in Numpy and Scipy In particular, () will accept inputs in the form of: Notice that when you’re using (), the input is more flexible. To use this function, you need to import scipy.special with the code import scipy.special. If you want to compute factorials on an entire Numpy array, you need to use () function. If you want to compute factorials on all of the values of a Numpy array, you need to use a different function. It will throw an error if you attempt to use this function on a Numpy array. It’s important to note that the Numpy factorial function (AKA, ) only accepts integer values as an input. Remember: this assumes that you’ve imported Numpy with the code import numpy as np. The syntax for the Numpy factorial function is simple: Let’s take a look at the syntax for both, and then I’ll show you some examples.
If you want to compute factorials on an array of values, you need to use (). The () function only works for single integer values. If you want to compute a Numpy factorial value, I recommend two functions: There are several important ways to compute factorials in Pythonįor better or worse, there’s not one single way to compute factorials in Python or in Numpy.
Now, let’s talk about how to compute factorials in Python and Numpy. So as an example we can compute the factorial as: The factorial of an integer is denoted as, and is defined as: Quickly, let’s review what factorials are. Everything will probably make more sense that way.įirst of all, let’s just start off with an overview of factorials, and how we can compute factorials with Numpy and Scipy. Having said that, it’s probably best if you read the whole tutorial. I’ll also show you how to use a different function,, to compute factorials element-wise on Numpy arrays. I’ll explain the syntax of np.math.factorial, how the function works, and how to use it. In this tutorial, I’ll explain how to use the Numpy factorial function, AKA np.math.factorial.
