python Programming numpy Library Array Knowledge Points Summary and Detailed Explanation Notes

Keywords: Attribute jupyter Python

numpy's knowledge is divided into the following eight parts

All code runs in jupyter
out:Following is the result of running the output

Catalog:

1. Arnge and array functions create arrays

2. The shape function returns the dimensions of the array (returned as tuples)

3. Array slices

4. Changing the dimensions of arrays

5. Combination of arrays

6. Split Array

7. Attributes of arrays

8. Array Conversion

Most importantly, import the numpy package first

import numpy as np

1. Arnge and array functions create arrays

There are two ways to create an array using numpy

(1)
numpy.arange([start, ]stop, [step, ]dtype=None)

Detailed parameters:

Start, stop ----> Array start and stop position, tuple form, follow the principle of left-closed right-open, start omit defaults to 0
Step ----> The step of an array of equal differences, defaulting to 1
Dtype ---->Specify data type

Only one-dimensional arrays can be created and their dimensions can be changed later by other means

# Do not specify start
a = np.arange(5)
a
# out: array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
--------------
# Specify start
a = np.arange(2, 5)
a
# out: array([2, 3, 4])
--------------
# Specify step size
a = np.arange(2, 10, 2)  # Specify with start parameter
a
# out: array([2, 4, 6, 8])

a = np.arange(10, step = 2)  # Specify without start parameter
a
# out: array([0, 2, 4, 6, 8])

(2)
numpy.array(object, dtype=None, copy=True, order='K', subok=False, ndmin=0)

Detailed parameters:

Dtype ---->Specify data type

You can create one or more dimensional arrays

# Create a one-dimensional array
a = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4])
a
# out: array([1, 2, 3, 4])
------
# Create a two-dimensional array
a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
a
'''
out: 
array([[1, 2],
       [3, 4]])
'''
------
# Specify data type
a = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4], dtype = 'str')
a
# out: array(['1', '2', '3', '4'], dtype='<U1')
# You can see that all elements in the array change to look at the string type

2. The shape function returns the dimensions of the array (returned as tuples)

Shapes are primarily used to view the dimensions and shape s of arrays
Shapes can also change the dimension and shape of arrays

# View the dimensions and shapes of array a with shapes
a = np.array([[0,1,2,3,4],[1,3,2,3,4]])
a.shape
# out: (2, 5)
# You can see that array A is a two-dimensional array
------
# Changing the dimensions and shape of an array with shapes
a = np.arange(8)  # First create a one-dimensional array a
a
# out: array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
a.shape   # Shape of the array
# out: (8,)

# Then use shapes to change a's shape
a.shape = (2, 4)
a  # View array a again
'''
out: 
array([[0, 1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6, 7]])
'''
a.shape  # View the shape of a again
# out: (2, 4)
# You can see that array a has changed somewhat, but it has the same number of elements and content

3. Array slices

Array slices mainly take a part of the array, following the principle of left-closed right-open
It was also found that setting the step to -1 also reverses the order of array elements, but this function is not available in the arange function to create arrays, only an empty array can be created.
And "..."Ellipsis in Multidimensional Arrays

# Slices of a one-dimensional array
a = np.arange(9)
a[3:7]  # 3 and 7 are the index values of the array elements, which means getting the fourth to the seventh elements of the array
		# This operation returns a new array without changing the original array
		# If you need to change the original array, you can use a = a[3:7]
# out:  array([3, 4, 5, 6])

4. Changing the dimensions of arrays

There are a number of functions that can change the dimension of an array, each with different functions
There are:
reshape function
ravel function
flatten function
shape function
transpose function
resize function
Next, use the code to see how each should work

# reshape changes the dimension of the array, but does not change the original array
b = np.arange(24).reshape(2, 3, 4)  # Dimensions of arrays can be set directly.
									# But one thing to note is that:
									# The product of each dimension should be the same as the minimum number of unit elements in the array, e.g. 24 = 2*3*4

5. Combination of arrays

NumPy arrays can be combined horizontally, vertically, and in depth.
Arrays can be combined using vstack, dstack, hstack, column_stack, row_stack, and concatenate functions

The dimension described below is actually the element of the tuple obtained by the shape function

'''
From this example, it can be concluded that the concatenate functions of hstack and axis = 1 have the same effect

We think of arrays as matrices, rows and columns as widths and heights. Look closely at the example above in hstack. In fact, the horizontal combination is to stitch the widths of two matrices together at the same height to form a new matrix

Similarly, the vertical combination below is the opposite of the horizontal combination. It joins the two matrices up and down to form a new matrix. The width of the new matrix is the same as the width of the original matrix, but the height is the sum of the original matrices.

# Error reported because there are arrays whose dimensions do not match those specified by concatenate

With some features of the dstack function in this case, their dimensions can be omitted in arrays that are combined using the dstack function, that is, the dstack function can not only combine two three-dimensional arrays, but also two two two two two two one-dimensional arrays.

You can also find the difference between dstack function and concatenate function. dstack can combine arrays with lower dimensions than it requires. As long as the two arrays are identical except for the corresponding dimension, they can be successfully combined and the dimension of rise can be different
For concatenate functions, however, all dimensions must be explicitly expressed, and the dimensions of both arrays must be the same.Besides the corresponding dimensions of the combinations can be different, the other dimensions must be the same.

There are two more functions
row_stack
column_stack

I tried it with the example above and found that column_stack and hstack both work equally well, without knowing what the difference is.
The same is true for row_stack and vstack
Continue to discuss later and update if you find a difference

# Looking at the out put, we can see that the deep division dsplit is divided by the columns of the array.

Dimensionally:
The horizontal division is divided from the second dimension, that is, the second dimension is divided equally, the vertical division is from the first dimension, and the deep division is from the third dimension.
You can see this by looking at each split array with the shape function
Take depth segmentation as an example:

a = np.arange(27).reshape(3, 3, 3)
a.shape
# out: (3, 3, 3)

# Deep Segmentation
l = np.dsplit(a, 3)
l[0].shape  # out: (3, 3, 1)
l[1].shape  # out: (3, 3, 1)
l[2].shape  # out: (3, 3, 1)

7. Attributes of arrays

shape, reshape displays and sets the dimensions of the array
dtype * Type used to display arrays
ndim * Dimension of output array
itemsize Gives the number of bytes in memory that elements in an array occupy
nbytes Gives the bytes in memory of all elements in the array
T) The effect is the same as transpose, but T does not change the original array, while transpose changes the original array
flat) returns a numpy.flatiter object that allows us to traverse any multidimensional array as if it were a one-dimensional array

# Shapes and re shape s

shape Dimensions used to display arrays, or tuples can be used to set the dimensions of arrays
reshape Dimensions used to set arrays

astype functions can specify data types when converting arrays

e = np.array([1.12, 1.56])
e
# out: array([1.12, 1.56])

# Convert array e to an integer at this time
e.astype(int)  # This method does not change the original array
# out: array([1, 1]) can see that the decimal part has been forcibly deleted

# 2. Convert e to string type
e.astype(str)
# out : array(['1.12', '1.56'], dtype='<U32')
# Successfully converted, indicating that the numeric type can be converted to the string type, then can the string be converted to the numeric type?

# 3. Convert string type to numeric type
