I am trying to generate a random array of 0s and 1s, and I am getting the error: shape mismatch: objects cannot be broadcast to a single shape. The error seems to be occurring in the line randints = np.random.binomial(1,p,(n,n))
. Here is the function:
import numpy as np
def rand(n,p):
'''Generates a random array subject to parameters p and N.'''
# Create an array using a random binomial with one trial and specified
# parameters.
randints = np.random.binomial(1,p,(n,n))
# Use nested while loops to go through each element of the array
# and assign True to 1 and False to 0.
i = 0
j = 0
rand = np.empty(shape = (n,n),dtype = bool)
while i < n:
while j < n:
if randints[i][j] == 0:
rand[i][j] = False
if randints[i][j] == 1:
rand[i][j] = True
j = j+1
i = i +1
j = 0
# Return the new array.
return rand
print rand
When I run it by itself, it returns <function rand at 0x1d00170>
. What does this mean? How should I convert it to an array that can be worked with in other functions?
