How to save and load multiple NumPy arrays to and from a single binary file?
NumPy: I/O Operations Exercise-8 with Solution
Write a NumPy program that saves multiple NumPy arrays to a single binary file using np.savez and then loads them back using np.load.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
import numpy as np
# Create multiple NumPy arrays
array1 = np.array([[10, 20, 30], [40, 50, 60]])
array2 = np.array([[70, 80, 90], [100, 110, 120]])
array3 = np.array([130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180])
# Define the path to the binary file
binary_file_path = 'multiple_arrays.npz'
# Save multiple NumPy arrays to a single binary file using np.savez
np.savez(binary_file_path, array1=array1, array2=array2, array3=array3)
# Load the NumPy arrays from the binary file using np.load
loaded_data = np.load(binary_file_path)
# Extract the arrays
loaded_array1 = loaded_data['array1']
loaded_array2 = loaded_data['array2']
loaded_array3 = loaded_data['array3']
# Print the original and loaded NumPy arrays
print("Original NumPy Arrays:")
print("Array 1:")
print(array1)
print("Array 2:")
print(array2)
print("Array 3:")
print(array3)
print("\nLoaded NumPy Arrays from Binary File:")
print("Loaded Array 1:")
print(loaded_array1)
print("Loaded Array 2:")
print(loaded_array2)
print("Loaded Array 3:")
print(loaded_array3)
Output:
Original NumPy Arrays: Array 1: [[10 20 30] [40 50 60]] Array 2: [[ 70 80 90] [100 110 120]] Array 3: [130 140 150 160 170 180] Loaded NumPy Arrays from Binary File: Loaded Array 1: [[10 20 30] [40 50 60]] Loaded Array 2: [[ 70 80 90] [100 110 120]] Loaded Array 3: [130 140 150 160 170 180]
Explanation:
- Import NumPy Library: Import the NumPy library to handle arrays.
- Create Multiple NumPy Arrays: Define multiple NumPy arrays with some example data.
- Define Binary File Path: Specify the path where the binary file will be saved.
- Save Multiple Arrays to Binary File: Use np.savez() to save the multiple NumPy arrays to a single binary file, giving each array a name.
- Load Arrays from Binary File: Use np.load() to read the contents of the binary file back into a NumPy object.
- Extract Loaded Arrays: Extract the individual arrays from the loaded data using their respective names.
- Finally print the original NumPy arrays and the loaded arrays to verify that the data was saved and read correctly.
