Arrays in Python

This document discusses arrays in Python using the NumPy library. It defines 0-D, 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D arrays with examples. 0-D arrays are scalars, the individual elements of an array. 1-D arrays are basic arrays with 0-D elements. 2-D arrays have 1-D arrays as elements, representing matrices. 3-D arrays contain 2-D arrays as elements. Dimensionality is accessed with the .ndim attribute. Higher dimensional arrays can be defined by setting ndmin to a number greater than the natural dimensions.

Arrays in Python

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

print(arr[2])

print(type(arr))

3
<class 'numpy.ndarray'>

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

print(arr)

[1 2 3 4 5]

Dimensions in Arrays
A dimension in arrays is one level of array depth (nested arrays).
nested array: are arrays that have arrays as their elements

0-D Arrays
0-D arrays, or Scalars, are the elements in an array. Each value in an array is a 0-D
array.

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([42,1,2,3,4,5])

print(arr)
print(arr.ndim)

[42 1 2 3 4 5]
1

Arrays in Python 1
1-D Arrays
An array that has 0-D arrays as its elements is called uni-dimensional or 1-D array.
These are the most common and basic arrays.

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([[[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]]])

print(arr)
print(arr.ndim)

[[[1 2 3 4 5]]]
3

2-D Arrays
An array that has 1-D arrays as its elements is called a 2-D array. These are often
used to represent matrix

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([[[1, 2, 3],[4, 5, 6],[3,4,5]]])

print(arr)
print(arr.ndim)

[[[1 2 3]
[4 5 6]
[3 4 5]]]
3

3-D arrays
An array that has 2-D arrays (matrices) as its elements is called 3-D array.

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([[[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]], [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ,6], [4, 5,


6, 7, 8, 9]]])
print(arr[0][1])
print(arr)
print(arr.ndim)

Arrays in Python 2
[4 5 6 7 8 9]
[[[1 2 3 4 5 6]
[4 5 6 7 8 9]]

[[1 2 3 4 5 6]
[4 5 6 7 8 9]]]
3

Check Number of Dimensions

import numpy as np1

a = np1.array(42)
b = np1.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
c = np1.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])

d = np1.array([[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]])

print(a.ndim)
print(b.ndim)
print(c.ndim)
print(d.ndim)

0
1
2
3

Higher Dimensional Arrays

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4], ndmin=5)

print(arr)
print('number of dimensions :', arr.ndim)

[[[[[1 2 3 4]]]]]
number of dimensions : 5
