Array in Python-4

Arrays in Python can be created using the array module. Arrays allow storing basic data types efficiently and have methods like append, insert, pop and reverse. Multidimensional arrays can be created using NumPy with attributes like shape, size and dtype.

Array in Python

Array
syntax
Arrayname = array(typecode, [ n1,n2.,n3, elements]
Typecode
b= signed integer 1 byte
B= unsigned integer 1 byte
i= signed integer 2 byte
I= unsigned integer 2 byte
l= signed integer 4 byte
L= unsigned integer 4 byte
f= Floating point 4 byte
d= double precision floating point 8 byte
u= unicode integer 2 byte
Creating array (three ways)
Import array module
a= array.array(“i”, [1,2,3,4])
Or
Import array as arr
a = arr.array(“i”, [1,2,3,4])
Or
From array import *
a = arr.array(“i”, [1,2,3,4])
Array Methods

array.reverse() Method
Like the sequence types, the array class also supports the reverse()
method which rearranges the elements in reverse order.
array.count() Method

The count() method returns the number of times a given element occurs in the
array.
Array.index()
The index() method in array class finds the position of first occurrence of a given
element in the array.
Array.fromList()
The fromlist() method appends items from a Python list to the array object.
Array.tofile()
The tofile() method in array class writes all items in the array to the file object f.

After running the above code, a file named as "list.txt" will be created in the current
directory.
Array.fromfile()
The fromfile() method reads a binary file and appends specified number of items
to the array object.

(rb) Read and


binary
Other methods
a.append(x) : add element x at the end of the array

a.extend(x) : append x at the end of the array. X can be be another array or


iterable object

a.insert(i,x) insert x at position i

a.pop(x) :remove item ‘x’ from array and return it

a.pop() : remove lat element from array

a.remove(x) : remove the first occurrence of x in the array


two-dimensional array
Use array method of numpy

print("\n")
arr2 = np.array([[1,2,3,4], [5,6,7,8]])
print(arr2)
print(type(arr2))
Multidimensional array
Multidimensional array
Multidimensional array
array
Aliasing array : if “a” and “b” are two arrays then a = b means both pointing to
same array. When one changes other also

view() : if “a” and “b” are two array then b = a.view() creates mirror images of
array called shallow copy. When one changes other also

copy() : if “a” and “b” are two array then b = a.copy() creates copy of array where
both array are independent. When one changes other do not. This is called deep
copy.
Attributes of array
ndim: represents number of dimensions or axes.

shape() : displays number of elements in one dimension array or display row and
column in two dimension array

Size : gives total number of elements in array

Dtype : gives datatype of elements in an array

Reshape () : used to change row to column and column to row

flatten() : collapse multidimensional array into one dimension
