##### Iterating Arrays

-Iterating means going through elements one by one.


-If we iterate on a 1-D array it will go through each element one by one.

Example
Iterate on the elements of the following 1-D array:

import numpy as np

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

for x in arr:
print(x)

##### Iterating 2-D Arrays

In a 2-D array it will go through all the rows.

Example
Iterate on the elements of the following 2-D array:

import numpy as np

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

for x in arr:
print(x)
## output
[1 2 3]
[4 5 6]

####To return the actual values, the scalars, we have to iterate the arrays in each
dimension.

Example
Iterate on each scalar element of the 2-D array:

import numpy as np

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

for x in arr:
for y in x:
print(y)

### output
1
2
3
4
5
6

##### Iterating 3-D Arrays


In a 3-D array it will go through all the 2-D arrays.
Example
Iterate on the elements of the following 3-D array:

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], [[7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]]])

for x in arr:
print(x)

##### To return the actual values, the scalars, we have to iterate the arrays in
each dimension.

Example
Iterate down to the scalars:

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], [[7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]]])

for x in arr:
for y in x:
for z in y:
print(z)

##### Iterating Arrays Using nditer()


The function nditer() is a helping function that can be used from very basic to
very advanced iterations. It solves some basic issues which we face in iteration,
lets go through it with examples.

### Iterating on Each Scalar Element


In basic for loops, iterating through each scalar of an array we need to use n for
loops which can be difficult to write for arrays with very high dimensionality.

Example
Iterate through the following 3-D array:

import numpy as np

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

for x in np.nditer(arr):
print(x)
