Is there any pythonic way to find average of specific tuple elements in array?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I want to write this code as pythonic. My real array much bigger than this example.



( 5+10+20+3+2 ) / 5




print(np.mean(array,key=lambda x:x[1]))
TypeError: mean() got an unexpected keyword argument 'key'




array = [('a', 5) , ('b', 10), ('c', 20), ('d', 3), ('e', 2)]



sum = 0

for i in range(len(array)):

    sum = sum + array[i][1]



average = sum / len(array)

print(average)



import numpy as np

print(np.mean(array,key=lambda x:x[1]))


How can avoid this?
I want to use second example.

If you are using Python 3.4 or above, you could use the statistics module:



from statistics import mean



average = mean(value[1] for value in array)


Or if you're using a version of Python older than 3.4:



average = sum(value[1] for value in array) / len(array)


If you're using Python 2, and you're summing integers, we will have integer division, which will truncate the result, e.g:



>>> 25 / 4

6



>>> 25 / float(4)

6.25


To ensure we don't have integer division we could set the starting value of sum to be the float value 0.0. However, this also means we have to make the loop over the values in the array into a comprehension expression, otherwise it's a syntax error, and it's less pretty, as noted in the comments:



average = sum((value[1] for value in array), 0.0) / len(array)


It's probably best to use fsum from the math module which will return a float:



from math import fsum



average = fsum(value[1] for value in array) / len(array)

  • I realised there are better ways to do the Python 2 code. sum takes an argument for the starting value. If you pass 0.0 to it, then the numerator will always be floating point, nothing to worry about. Also, there is a function in the math module, fsum.

With pure Python:



from operator import itemgetter



acc = 0

count = 0



for value in map(itemgetter(1), array):

    acc += value

    count += 1



mean = acc / count


An iterative approach can be preferable if your data cannot fit in memory as a list (since you said it was big). If it can, prefer a declarative approach:



data = [sub[1] for sub in array]

mean = sum(data) / len(data)


If you are open to using numpy, I find this cleaner:



a = np.array(array)



mean = a[:, 1].astype(int).mean()

    Just find the average using sum and number of elements of the list.



    array = [('a', 5) , ('b', 10), ('c', 20), ('d', 3), ('e', 2)]
    
avg = float(sum(value[1] for value in array)) / float(len(array))
    
print(avg)
    
#8.0

    you can use map instead of list comprehension



    sum(map(lambda x:int(x[1]), array)) / len(array)


    or functools.reduce (if you use Python2.X just reduce not functools.reduce)



    import functools
    
functools.reduce(lambda acc, y: acc + y[1], array, 0) / len(array)

    Besides all the nice and cool answers below, there is something in your example code that is not pythonic at all, the for loop with range/len. This can be written, amongst other even more sophisticated ways, like:



    for i in array:
    
    sum = sum + i[1]

    You can simply use:



    print(sum(tup[1] for tup in array) / len(array))


    Or for Python 2:



    print(sum(tup[1] for tup in array) / float(len(array)))


    Or little bit more concisely for Python 2:



    from math import fsum
    

    
print(fsum(tup[1] for tup in array) / len(array))

    • @ruohola The reason it works for the example is it's 40 / 5 which gives 8 with no remainder. In Python 2, with different numbers, it could truncate the answer.

    • @PeterWood it will not truncate anything if you use the float(len(array)) casting when using Python 2. Anyways it shouldn't even matter since this question was for Python 3.x.

        from operator import itemgetter
        

        
acc = 0
        
count = 0
        

        
for value in map(itemgetter(1), array):
        
    acc += value
        
    count += 1
        

        
mean = acc / count


        An iterative approach can be preferable if your data cannot fit in memory as a list (since you said it was big). If it can, prefer a declarative approach:



        data = [sub[1] for sub in array]
        
mean = sum(data) / len(data)


        If you are open to using numpy, I find this cleaner:



        a = np.array(array)
        

        
mean = a[:, 1].astype(int).mean()

            Just find the average using sum and number of elements of the list.



            array = [('a', 5) , ('b', 10), ('c', 20), ('d', 3), ('e', 2)]
            
avg = float(sum(value[1] for value in array)) / float(len(array))
            
print(avg)

            you can use map instead of list comprehension



            sum(map(lambda x:int(x[1]), array)) / len(array)


            or functools.reduce (if you use Python2.X just reduce not functools.reduce)



            import functools
            
functools.reduce(lambda acc, y: acc + y[1], array, 0) / len(array)

            Besides all the nice and cool answers below, there is something in your example code that is not pythonic at all, the for loop with range/len. This can be written, amongst other even more sophisticated ways, like:



            for i in array:
            
    sum = sum + i[1]

            You can simply use:



            print(sum(tup[1] for tup in array) / len(array))


            Or for Python 2:



            print(sum(tup[1] for tup in array) / float(len(array)))


            Or little bit more concisely for Python 2:



            from math import fsum
            

            
print(fsum(tup[1] for tup in array) / len(array))
