Convert Height field to regular array in NumPy Structured array
NumPy: Structured Arrays Exercise-12 with Solution
Converting to Regular Arrays:
Write a NumPy program to convert the 'height' field of the structured array created with fields for 'name' (string), 'age' (integer), and 'height' (float) to a regular NumPy array.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
import numpy as np
# Define the data type for the structured array
dtype = [('name', 'U10'), ('age', 'i4'), ('height', 'f4')]
# Create the structured array with sample data
structured_array = np.array([
('Lehi Piero', 25, 5.5),
('Albin Achan', 30, 5.8),
('Zerach Hava', 35, 6.1),
('Edmund Tereza', 40, 5.9),
('Laura Felinus', 28, 5.7)
], dtype=dtype)
print("Original Structured Array:")
print(structured_array)
# Convert the 'height' field to a regular NumPy array
height_array = structured_array['height']
# Print the regular NumPy array of 'height' field
print("\nRegular NumPy array of 'height' field:")
print(height_array)
Output:
Original Structured Array: [('Lehi Piero', 25, 5.5) ('Albin Acha', 30, 5.8) ('Zerach Hav', 35, 6.1) ('Edmund Ter', 40, 5.9) ('Laura Feli', 28, 5.7)] Regular NumPy array of 'height' field: [5.5 5.8 6.1 5.9 5.7]
Explanation:
- Import Libraries:
- Imported numpy as "np" for array creation and manipulation.
- Define Data Type:
- Define the data type for the structured array 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 a Structured Array:
- Created the structured array using np.array(), providing sample data for five individuals. Each individual is represented as a tuple with values for 'name', 'age', and 'height'.
- Convert 'Height' Field to Regular Array:
- Converted the 'height' field to a regular NumPy array by accessing structured_array['height'].
- Print a Regular Array:
- Print the regular NumPy array of the 'height' field to verify the conversion.
