I'd like to replace the last N columns of a Numpy array by zeroes.



a = numpy.tile([1,2,3,4], (4,1))



array([[1, 2, 3, 4],

       [1, 2, 3, 4],

       [1, 2, 3, 4],

       [1, 2, 3, 4]])


To replace the last, I do:



a[:,-1] = 0


To replace the last 2, I would do



a[:,-2:-1] = 0


but this only replaces the penultimate column



array([[1, 2, 0, 4],

       [1, 2, 0, 4],

       [1, 2, 0, 4],

       [1, 2, 0, 4]])


Can you please explain why?
What should I do to get what I want?



Thanks

    a[:, -2:]; use an open ended slice.

When doing a[:,-2:-1] = 0 you are picking from the 1 before the last column, until the last column, not including the last column.



What you are looking for is a[:,-2:] = 0 , which will pick all the columns from -2 to the end. Similarly, a[:,-3:-1] will pick the 2 middle columns.
