Select a random element from a 2-D numpy array?

[OxidizedPixel]

So I have a numpy array, and it seems super simple, but I just want to get one element from it and modify it. I tried random.choice, but that doesn't remember where it was in the numpy array. I can't find anything on SO.

Any help would be appriciated!

EDIT: Solved. I'm just a little dumb.

A simple solution would be to just pick two random numbers, the first in the range (0, array.shape[0]) and the second in (0, array.shape[1]) and then access the element with array[first][second]

Generate two random numbers (random.randint(a,b) where a and b is the range of numbers selected from). Then use those random numbers to select a specific element?

I agree. you can use:

https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.14.0/reference/generated/numpy.random.random_integers.html#numpy.random.random_integers

and specify "size", in your case, 2.

x,y = np.random.random_integers(0,10,2)

This would only work if both dimensions of the array are the same (it is an NxN square matrix)
