Suppose I have a numpy array x = [5, 2, 3, 1, 4, 5], y = ['f', 'o', 'o', 'b', 'a', 'r']. I want to select the elements in y corresponding to elements in x that are greater than 1 and less than 5.
I tried
x = array([5, 2, 3, 1, 4, 5])
y = array(['f','o','o','b','a','r'])
output = y[x > 1 & x < 5] # desired output is ['o','o','b','a']
but this doesn't work. How would I do this?
