numpy.isfortran() in Python

numpy.isfortran(array) : This is a logical function that checks whether array is Fortran contiguous or not.

Order : [C-contiguous, F-contiguous, A-contiguous; optional]

C-contiguous order in memory(last index varies the fastest). C order means that operating row-rise on the array will be slightly quicker.
FORTRAN-contiguous order in memory (first index varies the fastest). F order means that column-wise operations will be faster.
‘A’ means to read / write the elements in Fortran-like index order if, array is Fortran contiguous in memory, C-like order otherwise.

Parameters : 

array    : [array_like]Input array

Return : 



True, if array is Fortran; else False
