5.2.5.1. Exercise: Creating linearly spaced arrays#
We recorded the force measured by a dynamometer at a sampling frequency of 100 Hz for 2.5 seconds.
Using one line of code (excluding the import line), create a NumPy array named time that represents the time corresponding to each sample. The first element of this array will be 0, the second will be 0.01, and so on.

import numpy as np
# The initial time is 0 s
# The final time corresponds to 2.5 seconds
# The number of points is 2.5 * 100Hz = 250.
time = np.linspace(0, 2.5, 250, endpoint=False)
# Note that if we interpret the question to include the final time, then we
# need to increase the number of points by 1 to include this new point:
# >> time = np.linspace(0, 2.5, 251)
