Python – PyTorch is_storage() method

PyTorch torch.is_storage() method returns True if obj is a PyTorch storage object.

Syntax: torch.is_storage(object)

Arguments

• object: This is input tensor to be tested.

Return: It returns either True or False.

Let’s see this concept with the help of few examples:
Example 1:

# Importing the PyTorch library
import torch

# A constant tensor of size n
a = torch.FloatStorage(6)
print(a)

# Applying the is_tensor function and
# storing the result in 'out'
out = torch.is_storage(a)
print(out)

Output:

-30587.265625
 4.555761437366413e-41
 3.906847023468105e-37
 0.0
 4.484155085839415e-44
 0.0
[torch.FloatStorage of size 6]
True

Example 2:

# Importing the PyTorch library
import torch

# A constant tensor of size n
a = torch.randn(4, 6)
print(a)

# Applying the is_tensor function and
# storing the result in 'out'
out = torch.is_storage(a)
print(out)

Output:
