I am trying to access (more precisely: add to) a subset of a numpy array using multiple index lists. However, what is working perfectly with slices, does not work as expected using arbitrary index lists: import numpy as np # this one works: A_4th_order = np.zeros( (4,2,4,2) ) sub_a = np.ones( (3,1,3,1) ) i = k = slice(0,3) j = l = slice(1,2) A_4th_order[i,j,k,l] += sub_a # this one doesn't: B_4th_order = np.zeros( (4,2,4,2) ) sub_b = np.ones( (3,1,3,1) ) i = k = np.array([0,1,2], dtype=int) j = l = np.array([1], dtype=int) B_4th_order[i,j,k,l] += sub_b How can I achieve this operation in an efficient and readable manner? source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77793897/numpy-accessing-sub-ndarrays-with-multiple-index-lists
