Python’s ravel() function is used to return a contiguous array. This function returns a 1D array that contains the input elements.
The syntax for this function is as follows:
numpy.ravel(a, order='C')
The ravel() function takes the following parameter values:
a: This represents the input array.order: This represents the type of order for the memory layout. This parameter value is optional. It can take a "C", "F", "A", or "K' order.The ravel() function returns an array of the same subtype and shape as that of the input array a that is passed to it.
import numpy as np# creating an arraymyarray1 = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])# calling the ravel() functionmyarray2 = np.ravel(myarray1, order = "K")print(myarray2)# checking the size of the imput and output arraysprint(myarray1.size)print(myarray2.size)
numpy module.2D array called myarray1, using the array() function.myarray1, using an order style K. We assign the result to another variable called myarray2.myarray2.array.size() function.
