Combine two Structured arrays in NumPy
NumPy: Structured Arrays Exercise-10 with Solution
Combining Structured Arrays:
Write a NumPy program that combines two structured arrays with the same dtype into one.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
import numpy as np
# Define the data type for the structured arrays
dtype = [('name', 'U10'), ('age', 'i4'), ('height', 'f4')]
# Create the first structured array with sample data
structured_array1 = np.array([
('Lehi', 25, 5.5),
('Albin', 30, 5.8)
], dtype=dtype)
# Create the second structured array with sample data
structured_array2 = np.array([
('Zerach', 35, 6.1),
('Edmund', 40, 5.9),
('Laura', 28, 5.7)
], dtype=dtype)
print("Original Structured Arrays:")
print(structured_array1)
print(structured_array2)
# Combine the two structured arrays into one
combined_array = np.concatenate((structured_array1, structured_array2))
# Print the combined structured array
print("\nCombined Structured Array:")
print(combined_array)
Output:
Original Structured Arrays: [('Lehi', 25, 5.5) ('Albin', 30, 5.8)] [('Zerach', 35, 6.1) ('Edmund', 40, 5.9) ('Laura', 28, 5.7)] Combined Structured Array: [('Lehi', 25, 5.5) ('Albin', 30, 5.8) ('Zerach', 35, 6.1) ('Edmund', 40, 5.9) ('Laura', 28, 5.7)]
Explanation:
- Import libraries:
- Imported numpy as "np" for array creation and manipulation.
- Define Data Type:
- Define the data type for the structured arrays using a list of tuples. Each tuple specifies a field name and its corresponding data type. The data types are:
- 'U10' for a string of up to 10 characters.
- 'i4' for a 4-byte integer.
- 'f4' for a 4-byte float.
- Create the First Structured Array:
- Created the first structured array structured_array1 using np.array(), providing sample data for two individuals.
- Create a Second Structured Array:
- Created the second structured array structured_array2 using np.array(), providing sample data for three individuals.
- Combine Structured Arrays:
- Combine the two structured arrays into one using "np.concatenate()".
- Print Combined Structured Array:
- Print the combined structured array to verify the result.
