NumPy: Basic Exercise-56 with Solution

Write a NumPy program to create a three-dimension array with shape (3,5,4) and set to a variable.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import numpy as np  
nums = np.array([[[1, 5, 2, 1],
               [4, 3, 5, 6],
               [6, 3, 0, 6],
               [7, 3, 5, 0],
               [2, 3, 3, 5]],
              
              [[2, 2, 3, 1],
               [4, 0, 0, 5],
               [6, 3, 2, 1],
               [5, 1, 0, 0],               
               [0, 1, 9, 1]],
              
              [[3, 1, 4, 2],
               [4, 1, 6, 0],
               [1, 2, 0, 6],
               [8, 3, 4, 0],               
               [2, 0, 2, 8]]]) 
print("Array:")
print(nums)

Sample Output:

Array:
[[[1 5 2 1]
  [4 3 5 6]
  [6 3 0 6]
  [7 3 5 0]
  [2 3 3 5]]

 [[2 2 3 1]
  [4 0 0 5]
  [6 3 2 1]
  [5 1 0 0]
  [0 1 9 1]]

 [[3 1 4 2]
  [4 1 6 0]
  [1 2 0 6]
  [8 3 4 0]
  [2 0 2 8]]]

Previous: Write a NumPy program to create an array of equal shape and data type of a given array.
Next: Write a NumPy program to create a 4x4 array, now create a new array from the said array swapping first and last, second and third columns.

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

The os and os.path modules.
The __file__ constant
os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
