Matrix Product of 1D and 2D Arrays in NumPy

To find the matrix product of a 2D and a 1D array, use the numpy.matmul() method in Python Numpy. If the first argument is 1-D, it is promoted to a matrix by prepending a 1 to its dimensions. After matrix multiplication the prepended 1 is removed.

Returns the matrix product of the inputs. This is a scalar only when both x1, x2 are 1-d vectors. The out is a location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that matches the signature (n,k),(k,m)->(n,m). If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned.

Steps

At first, import the required library −

import numpy as np

Create a 1D and a 2D array −

arr1 = np.array([25, 35])
arr2 = np.array([[5, 7], [10, 15]])

Display the arrays −

print("Array 1 (Two Dimensional)...
", arr1)
print("
Array 2 (One Dimensional)...
", arr2)

Get the type of the arrays −

print("
Our Array 1 type...
", arr1.dtype)
print("
Our Array 2 type...
", arr2.dtype)

Get the dimensions of the Arrays −

print("
Our Array 1 Dimensions...
",arr1.ndim)
print("
Our Array 2 Dimensions...
",arr2.ndim)

Get the shape of the Arrays −

print("
Our Array 1 Shape...
",arr1.shape)
print("
Our Array 2 Shape...
",arr2.shape)

To find the matrix product of a 2D and a 1D array, use the numpy.matmul() method in Python Numpy. If the first argument is 1-D, it is promoted to a matrix by prepending a 1 to its dimensions. After matrix multiplication the prepended 1 is removed −

print("
Result (matrix product)...
",np.matmul(arr1, arr2))

Example

import numpy as np

# Create a 1D and a 2D array
arr1 = np.array([25, 35])
arr2 = np.array([[5, 7], [10, 15]])

# Display the arrays
print("Array 1 (Two Dimensional)...
", arr1)
print("
Array 2 (One Dimensional)...
", arr2)

# Get the type of the arrays
print("
Our Array 1 type...
", arr1.dtype)
print("
Our Array 2 type...
", arr2.dtype)

# Get the dimensions of the Arrays
print("
Our Array 1 Dimensions...
",arr1.ndim)
print("
Our Array 2 Dimensions...
",arr2.ndim)

# Get the shape of the Arrays
print("
Our Array 1 Shape...
",arr1.shape)
print("
Our Array 2 Shape...
",arr2.shape)

# To find the matrix product of a 2D and a 1D array, use the numpy.matmul() method in Python Numpy
# If the first argument is 1-D, it is promoted to a matrix by prepending a 1 to its dimensions.
# After matrix multiplication the prepended 1 is removed.
print("
Result (matrix product)...
",np.matmul(arr1, arr2))

Output

Array 1 (Two Dimensional)...
[25 35]

Array 2 (One Dimensional)...
