In numpy, arrays may have a data-types containing fields, analogous to columns in a spreadsheet. An example is [(a, int), (b, float)], where each entry in the array is a pair of (int, float). Normally, these attributes are accessed using dictionary lookups such as arr['a'] and arr['b']. Record arrays allow the fields to be accessed as members of the array, using arr.a and arr.b.

numpy.recarray.nonzero() function is used to get the indices of the elements that are non-zero in the record array. It returns a tuple of arrays, one for each dimension of arr, containing the indices of the non-zero elements in that dimension.

Syntax : numpy.recarray.nonzero()

Parameters: None

Return : [tuple_of_arrays] Indices of elements that are non-zero.

Code #1 :




# Python program explaining
# numpy.recarray.nonzero() method 
  
# importing numpy as geek
import numpy as geek
  
# creating input array with 2 different field 
in_arr = geek.array([[(0.0, 2), (3.0, -4), (0.0, 9)],
                     [(9.0, 1), (5.0, 0), (-12.0, -7)]],
                     dtype =[('a', float), ('b', int)])
  
print ("Input array : ", in_arr)
  
# convert it to a record array,
# using arr.view(np.recarray)
rec_arr = in_arr.view(geek.recarray)
print("Record array of float: ", rec_arr.a)
print("Record array of int: ", rec_arr.b)
  
# applying recarray.nonzero methods
# to float record array 
out_arr = rec_arr.a.nonzero()
print ("Indices of non zero elements : ", out_arr) 
  
# applying recarray.nonzero methods 
# to int record array
out_arr = rec_arr.b.nonzero()
print ("Indices of non zero elements : ", out_arr) 


Output:

Input array : [[( 0., 2) ( 3., -4) ( 0., 9)]
[( 9., 1) ( 5., 0) (-12., -7)]]
Record array of float: [[ 0. 3. 0.]
[ 9. 5. -12.]]
Record array of int: [[ 2 -4 9]
[ 1 0 -7]]
Indices of non zero elements : (array([0, 1, 1, 1], dtype=int64), array([1, 0, 1, 2], dtype=int64))
Indices of non zero elements : (array([0, 0, 0, 1, 1], dtype=int64), array([0, 1, 2, 0, 2], dtype=int64))

 

Code #2 :

We are applying numpy.recarray.nonzero() to whole record array.




# Python program explaining
# numpy.recarray.nonzero() method 
  
# importing numpy as geek
import numpy as geek
  
# creating input array with 2 different field 
in_arr = geek.array([[(5.0, 2), (3.0, 4), (6.0, -7)],
                     [(9.0, 1), (6.0, 4), (-2.0, -7)]],
                     dtype =[('a', float), ('b', int)])
  
print ("Input array : ", in_arr)
  
# convert it to a record array, 
# using arr.view(np.recarray)
rec_arr = in_arr.view(geek.recarray)
  
# applying recarray.nonzero methods to record array
out_arr = rec_arr.nonzero()
  
print ("Output array : ", out_arr)


Output:

Input array : [[( 5., 2) ( 3., 4) ( 6., -7)]
[( 9., 1) ( 6., 4) (-2., -7)]]
Output array : (array([0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1], dtype=int64), array([0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2], dtype=int64))
