Assigning Values to Indexed Elements
It is often necessary to assign a certain value to a specific element of an array or even to values in a subarray of elements.
First of all, we can assign a value to an indexed element of an array. Here is the general syntax to accomplish this in 1D arrays: array[i] = n
, where i
is a certain index and n
is the value to be assigned.
In 2D arrays, we have the following syntax: array[i, j] = n
, where i
and j
are the row and column indices, respectively. For higher-dimensional arrays, the number of indices corresponds to the number of dimensions.
Let’s look at an example:
import numpy as np array_1d = np.array([1, 4, 6, 2]) # Assigning 10 to the first element of array_1d array_1d[0] = 10 print(array_1d) print('-' * 14) array_2d = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]) # Assigning 8 to the element in the second row and column of array_2d array_2d[1, 1] = 8 print(array_2d)
As you can see, everything is rather simple here.
Note
Assigning values of higher data types to elements with lower data types (e.g., assigning a
float
value to an integer element) can cause unexpected results or even an error.
Here is an example of such a scenario:
import numpy as np array_1d = np.array([1, 4, 6, 2]) # Assigning 10.2 to the first element of array_1d array_1d[0] = 10.2 print(array_1d)
No exception was thrown, however, the first element was assigned the value of 10
instead of 10.2
. The float
value was converted to an integer since that's the dtype
of the array.

You are managing a dataset of employee information, where each row represents an employee, and the columns represent their salary and performance score. The dataset is stored in the employee_data
array array. Your task is to update the salary (first column) of the fourth employee to 60000
(use positive indices).
