NumPy array creation: ascontiguousarray() function

ascontiguousarray() function

The ascontiguousarray() function is used to get a contiguous array in memory (C order).

Syntax:

numpy.ascontiguousarray(a, dtype=None)

Version: 1.15.0

Parameter:

Return value:

[ndarray]
Contiguous array of same shape and content as a, with type dtype if specified.

Example-1: NumPy.ascontiguousarray() function

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.arange(8). reshape (4, 2)
>>> np.ascontiguousarray(a, dtype=np.float32)
array([[ 0.,  1.],
       [ 2.,  3.],
       [ 4.,  5.],
       [ 6.,  7.]], dtype=float32)
