Creating a 2D Matrix of Ascending Integers in Diagonal Order using Numpy

Are you trying to create a 2D matrix of ascending integers arranged in a diagonal or triangular order? If you're using Numpy, you're in for a treat! This post will walk you through the process of achieving that efficiently, even for larger values of N. Let’s dive into the solutions and their implementations.

The Challenge

Consider the requirement to create a matrix like this for N=6:

We need not just a functional but also an efficient solution especially for larger N. So, let’s explore the optimal approach to achieve this.

Efficient Solution Explained

The efficient way to create the desired matrix is to use Numpy functions to fill the diagonal in a single operation rather than utilizing nested loops. Here's how to do it:

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Set Up the Function: We will create a function called fill_diagonal that takes N as an argument.

Determine Matrix Size: We need to calculate the size of the matrix which is based on the input N. This involves some mathematical calculations to find m, where m is the size of the lower triangular indices.

Generate Indices: Use Numpy's tril_indices to get the lower triangle indices of the matrix which we will fill with ascending integers.

Fill the Matrix: Utilize Numpy to fill in the matrix with numbers from 1 to N based on the indices we calculated.

Here’s how the code looks:

This loop will demonstrate how the matrix evolves with increasing values of N yielding results similar to the examples mentioned above.

Performance Comparison

The great aspect of this method is its efficiency. If we need to benchmark its performance against a loop-based solution, you could use:

You’ll find that the Numpy solution performs significantly faster, making it viable for large N. The optimized function can perform the task approximately 10 to 20 times faster than a loop-based solution.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Numpy to create a 2D matrix of ascending integers in a diagonal pattern is not only straightforward but also highly efficient. With just a few lines of code, you can manage large matrices without compromising performance. Try it out for your next project and see the efficiency for yourself! Now, go ahead and fill those matrices!
