numpy.clip() function is used to Clip (limit) the values in an array.
Given an interval, values outside the interval are clipped to the interval edges. For example, if an interval of [0, 1] is specified, values smaller than 0 become 0, and values larger than 1 become 1.
Syntax : numpy.clip(a, a_min, a_max, out=None) Parameters : a : Array containing elements to clip. a_min : Minimum value. --> If None, clipping is not performed on lower interval edge. Not more than one of a_min and a_max may be None. a_max : Maximum value. --> If None, clipping is not performed on upper interval edge. Not more than one of a_min and a_max may be None. --> If a_min or a_max are array_like, then the three arrays will be broadcasted to match their shapes. out : Results will be placed in this array. It may be the input array for in-place clipping. out must be of the right shape to hold the output. Its type is preserved. Return : clipped_arrayCode #1 :
