Generate sequential numbers between 0 and 1 with equal distance

Question

I am generating random variables in my array: np.random.rand(5,3,20)

How can I create the same shape and size but sequentially between 0 and 1?

Answer 1

Another option:

#start:stop:stepj inside np.r_ is interpreted as np.linspace(start, stop, step, endpoint=1) inside of the brackets
np.r_[0:1:300j].reshape(5,3,20)

Answer 2

Just use:

np.linspace(0, 1, num=5).reshape((5, 3))

and set the num param to implicitly define how big needs to be your step.
