NumPy: Create a three-dimension array, fill the array elements with values using unsigned integer (0 to 255)
Write a NumPy program to create a three-dimension array with shape (300,400,5) and set to a variable. Fill the array elements with values using unsigned integer (0 to 255).
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
# Importing NumPy library and aliasing it as np
import numpy as np
# Setting the random seed to 32 for reproducibility
np.random.seed(32)
# Generating a 3D NumPy array 'nums' with dimensions 300x400x5
# Filling it with random integers in the range [0, 256) and data type uint8
nums = np.random.randint(low=0, high=256, size=(300, 400, 5), dtype=np.uint8)
# Printing the generated array 'nums'
print(nums)
Sample Output:
[[[215 42 224 219 43] [166 69 15 133 255] [105 95 54 37 201] ... [240 22 66 232 132] [ 13 85 53 220 170] [249 62 221 146 69]] [[ 73 79 148 132 164] [ 3 93 98 138 200] [174 34 31 208 130] ...

Explanation:
In the above exercise –
np.random.seed(32): This line sets the random seed to 32, which ensures that the same sequence of random numbers is generated each time the code is run.
nums = np.random.randint(low=0, high=256, size=(300, 400, 5), dtype=np.uint8): This line generates a 3D array of random integers. The parameters are as follows:
- low=0: The lower bound (inclusive) for the random integers.
- high=256: The upper bound (exclusive) for the random integers.
- size=(300, 400, 5): The shape of the output array.
- dtype=np.uint8: The data type of the output array, which is an unsigned 8-bit integer. This means the integers can have values between 0 and 255 (inclusive).
print(nums): Finally print() function prints the generated 3D array of random unsigned 8-bit integers.
