Closed 3 years ago.
I am trying to understand some code in which I found this statement. I don't know what "#" sign is doing here.
This is a running code for landmark detection, you can check full code here: https://github.com/cleardusk/3DDFA/blob/master/utils/ddfa.py
vertex = p # (u + w_shp # alpha_shp + w_exp # alpha_exp).reshape(3, -1, order='F') + offset

I believe it's used for matrix multiplication. Refer this for more: What does the "at" (#) symbol do in Python?

pd_selftest = pd_selftest[pd_selftest['SICCD'] != 0]
pd_selftest = pd_selftest[~pd_selftest['SICCD'].isnull()]
I'd like to know what the function of the ~ is in the above code.
That's the bit-wise invert or not operator. So, it returns only those lines where the SICCID column is not null. I would probably use the word not in this case.

Why is exponentiation applied right to left?

Closed 2 years ago.
print (2**3**2)
Answer is 512.
Why 512 is answer not 64? Because ((2^3)^2) = 64
I want to know the inside math operation of print (2** 3**2)
The order of operations for exponentiation is right-to-left, not-left-to right. So:
2**3**2
is interpretted as:
2**(3**2) = 2**(9) = 512
