Replace values of a numpy array by values from another numpy array

Question

i have a 1000 * 1000 numpy array with 1 million values which was created as follows :

>>import numpy as np
>>data = np.loadtxt(\'space_data.txt\         


        

Answer 1

import numpy as np

data = np.array([[ 13.,  15.,  15.],
   [ 14.,  13.,  14. ],
   [ 16.,  13.,  13. ]])

key = [[ 10.,   'S'],
   [ 11.,   'S'],
   [ 12.,   'S'],
   [ 13.,   'M'],
   [ 14.,   'L'],
   [ 15.,   'S'],
   [ 16.,   'S']]

data2 = np.zeros(data.shape, dtype=str)

for k in key:
    data2[data == k[0]] = k[1]
