numpy.arange() in Python

About :
arange([start,] stop[, step,][, dtype]) : Returns an array with evenly spaced elements as per the interval. The interval mentioned is half opened i.e. [Start, Stop)
Parameters : 

start : [optional] start of interval range. By default start = 0
stop  : end of interval range
step  : [optional] step size of interval. By default step size = 1,  
For any output out, this is the distance between two adjacent values, out[i+1] - out[i]. 
dtype : type of output array

Return:

Array of evenly spaced values.
Length of array being generated  = Ceil((Stop - Start) / Step)

Output : 


A
 [[0 1]
 [2 3]]

A
 [4 5 6 7 8 9]

A
 [ 4  7 10 13 16 19]




Note 1: 

These NumPy-Python programs won’t run on onlineID, so run them on your systems to explore them.


Note 2: 

The advantage of numpy.arange() over the normal in-built range() function is that it allows us to generate sequences of numbers that are not integers. For example













                                    filter_none

                        filter_none








Output:


[1.  1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9]



If you try it with the range() function, you get a TypeError.
