NumPy: Extract any array of shape from a given array of integer values

NumPy: Array Object Exercise-196 with Solution

Write a NumPy program to create a 12x12x4 array with random values and extract any array of shape(6,6,3) from the said array.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Importing NumPy library
import numpy as np

# Creating a NumPy array of shape (8, 8, 3) filled with random float values between 0 and 1
nums = np.random.random((8, 8, 3))

# Displaying the original array
print("Original array:")
print(nums)

# Extracting a sub-array of shape (6, 6, 3) from the original array using slicing
new_nums = nums[:6, :6, :]

# Displaying the extracted sub-array
print("\nExtract array of shape (6, 6, 3) from the said array:")
print(new_nums) 

Sample Output:

Original array:

Explanation:

In the above exercise -

nums = np.random.random((8, 8, 3)): This code first creates a 3-dimensional array nums with shape (8, 8, 3) filled with random values between 0 and 1.

new_nums = nums[:6, :6, :]: This code slices the “nums” array to create a new array new_nums. The slicing operation is performed on the first two dimensions (axis 0 and axis 1) using the slice :6, which means selecting elements from the beginning up to (but not including) index 6. The third dimension (axis 2) is kept entirely using the slice :.

Python-Numpy Code Editor:

Previous: Write a NumPy program to remove the first dimension from a given array of shape (1,3,4).
Next: Write a NumPy program to create to concatenate two given arrays of shape (2, 2) and (2,1).
