www.geeksforgeeks.org › numpy-diff-in-pythonJul 22, 2021 · numpy.diff () in Python. numpy.diff (arr [, n [, axis]]) function is used when we calculate the n-th order discrete difference along the given axis. The first order difference is given by out [i] = arr [i+1] – arr [i] along the given axis. If we have to calculate higher differences, we are using diff recursively.
