NumPy: atleast_1d() function

numpy.atleast_1d() function

The numpy.atleast_1d() function is used to convert inputs to arrays with at least one dimension.
Scalar inputs are converted to 1-dimensional arrays, whilst higher-dimensional inputs are preserved.

Syntax:

numpy.atleast_1d(*arys)

Version: 1.15.0

Parameter:

Return value:

ret [ndarray] An array, or list of arrays, each with a.ndim >= 1. Copies are made only if necessary.

Example-1: numpy.atleast_1d()

>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.atleast_1d(2.0)
array([ 2.])

Example-2: numpy.atleast_1d()

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.arange(12.0).reshape(3,4)
>>> np.atleast_1d(a)
array([[  0.,   1.,   2.,   3.],
       [  4.,   5.,   6.,   7.],
       [  8.,   9.,  10.,  11.]])

Pictorial Presentation:

Example-3: numpy.atleast_1d()

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.arange(12.0).reshape(3,4)	   
>>> np.atleast_1d(a) is a
True
>>> np.atleast_1d(2,[4, 5])
[array([2]), array([4, 5])]
