numpy.array_str() function

The array_str() function is used to convert a given string representation of the data into an array.

This function is similar to array_repr, the difference being that array_repr also returns information on the kind of array and its data type.

Syntax:

numpy.array_str(a, max_line_width=None, precision=None, suppress_small=None)

Version: 1.15.0

Parameter:

Name	Description	Required / Optional
a	Input array. ndarray	Required
max_line_width	Inserts newlines if text is longer than max_line_width. The default is, indirectly, 75. int	Optional
precision	Floating point precision. Default is the current printing precision (usually 8), which can be altered using set_printoptions. int	Optional
suppress_small	Represent numbers "very close" to zero as zero; default is False. Very close is defined by precision: if the precision is 8, e.g., numbers smaller (in absolute value) than 5e-9 are represented as zero. bool	Optional

NumPy.array_str() method Example:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.array_str(np.arange(5))

Output:

'[0 1 2 3 4]'
