numpy.tile(A, reps)
Syntax for the tile() function in Python

Parameter value

This function takes the following parameter values:

  • A: The is the input array.
  • reps: This is the number of repetitions for the input array.

Return value

Example

import numpy as np

# creating an input array

# calling the tile() function 

my_array = np.tile(a, 2)



# printing the tiled array

print(my_array)

Explanation

  • Line 1: We import the numpy module.
  • Line 3: We create an input array, a, using the array() function.
  • Line 6: We call the tile() function and pass a and 2 as arguments, meaning we are creating a tiled array having two repetitions of the array, a. The result is assigned to a variable, my_array.
  • Line 9: We print the new array, my_array.
