Using the numpy.

array Function
numpy.array function:
The basic ndarray is created using array function in NumPy as follows –

numpy.array

The numpy.array function is a powerful constructor in NumPy, allowing the


creation of arrays with various parameters. Below is an overview of its
parameters:

numpy.array(object, dtype = None, copy = True, order =


None, subok = False, ndmin = 0)

S. No. Parameter Description

An array is returned by any object that exposes the


Object
1. array interface method, or alternatively, any
(nested) sequence.

2. Dtype Desired data type of the array, optional.

Optional specification of the desired data type for


3. Copy
the array.

Specify either C (row major), F (column major), or A


4. Order
(any) to determine the array layout.

By default, the array that is returned is coerced into


Subok
5. being a base class array. If set to true, sub-classes
will be allowed to pass through without coercion.

Defines the minimum dimensions of the resulting


6. ndmin
array.

Let us make Python programs to understand the ndarray better.

1. Creating 1-D Array: Python program to make a one dimensional array.

import numpy as np
a = np.array([4,6,8])
print(a)

Output
[4 6 8]

This code creates a NumPy array named a, with the elements 4, 6, and
8, and then prints the array to the console.

i. import numpy as np: This line imports the NumPy library and gives
it the alias np. This is a common convention to make the code
more readable and concise. Now, you can use np instead of typing
out numpy every time you want to use a function from the library.

ii. a = np.array([4, 6, 8]): This line creates a NumPy array named a


with the values 4, 6, and 8. NumPy arrays are similar to lists in
Python but have additional functionalities and optimizations for
numerical operations.

iii. print(a): This line prints the contents of the array a to the console.
In this case, it will output something like:

2. Creating 2-D Array: Python program to create two dimensional array.

# multi- dimension arrays


import numpy as np
a = np.array([[3, 4], [9, 6]])
print(a)

Output
[[3 4]
[9 6]]

This code creates a 2-dimensional NumPy array named a, with
elements arranged in two rows and two columns and then prints the
array to the console.

i. import numpy as np: This line imports the NumPy library and
aliases it as np for convenience.

ii. a = np.array([[3, 4], [9, 6]]): This line creates a NumPy array
named a. The array is a 2x2 matrix, meaning it has two rows and
two columns. The values in the matrix are provided as a nested list
[[3, 4], [9, 6]].

3. Creating Array with minimum dimension: You can create an array with
a minimum dimension using the ndmin parameter when creating the
array. This parameter specifies the minimum number of dimensions that
the resulting array should have.

# minimum dimensions
import numpy as np
a = np.array([1, 2, 3,4,5], ndmin = 2)
print(a)

Output
[[1 2 3 4 5]]

This code uses array function to create a 2-dimensional array with


elements 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The ndmin=2 parameter ensures that the array
has a minimum of two dimensions, even though the input is a 1-
dimensional list. The output is a 2D array with a single row and five
columns.

4. Creating Array of Complex Numbers: You can create an array of
complex numbers by specifying the dtype parameter as complex when
creating the array.

# dtype parameter
import numpy as np
a = np.array([1, 2, 3], dtype = complex)
print(a)

Output
[1.+0.j 2.+0.j 3.+0.j]

The dtype parameter specifies the data type of array elements. Here,
dtype=complex is used to create an array of complex numbers from
the integer values 1, 2, and 3.
