Repeat values from a sequence up to n












0















Say I want to repeat a sequence of consecutive 0s and 1s up to n. One way I can think of is:



seq = np.array([0,1])
a = np.tile(seq, math.ceil(n/2))[:n]


Where I use math.ceil(n/2) so that only an extra number is generated in the case of having an odd n. But is there a more concise way of doing this? This should ideally be extendable to any given sequence, for example:



n = 6
seq = np.array([1,2,3,4])
np.tile(seq, math.ceil(n/2))[:n]
array([1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2])

          np.resize may work for you.



          In [43]: seq = np.array([1,2,3,4])
          In [44]: np.resize(seq, 6)
          Out[44]: array([1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2])


          We don't use resize (function or method) that often, but in this case the fill pattern for the function version meets your needs.
