Hi,
I'm used to working with R but new to Python (except Think Python).
I wrote codes for various river cross section analysis in R and now want to transfer them to Python in order to compile them to executeables but I struggle with the first simple task:
I have a txt with the geometry as input (x being the lateral distance and y the elevation)
0,4
3,3
4,0
6,1
7,3
10,4
I want to calculate the area A for each step i: Ai= (yi+yi-1)*(xi-xi-1)/2
And store the value in a new column. How do I do this in Python? When storing x and y in seperate arrays, I'm struggling in adreessing them correctly in loops for example.
In R I could simply adress it i.e. data[i,1] or data[i-1,1]
Thank you
