What is the numpy.asarray() function in Python?
Overview
The numpy.asarray() function in Python converts an input to an array.
Syntax
numpy.asarray(a, dtype=None)
Parameter value
The numpy.asarray() function takes the following parameter values:
a: This represents the input data converted to an array. It could be a list, lists of tuples, tuples of lists, and arrays.dtype: This represents the data type of the desired array. By default, the data type of the array is determined from the input data. This is optional.
Return value
The numpy.asarray() function returns the array interpretation of the input data passed to it.
Code
import numpy as np# creating an input datax = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]# converting the input data to an arraymyarray = np.asarray(x, dtype = np.double)print(myarray)
Explanation
- Line 1: We import the
numpymodule. - Line 4: We create an input data variable,
x, with five elements. - Line 7: We convert the input data
xto a float type array using thenumpy.asarray()function. The output is assigned to a variable,myarray. - Line 9: We print the
myarrayvariable.
