Python: Get the length in bytes of one array item in the internal representation
4. Get the Length in Bytes of One Array Item
Write a Python program to get the length in bytes of one array item in the internal representation.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
from array import *
array_num = array('i', [1, 3, 5, 7, 9])
print("Original array: "+str(array_num))
print("Length in bytes of one array item: "+str(array_num.itemsize))
Sample Output:
Original array: array('i', [1, 3, 5, 7, 9])
Length in bytes of one array item: 4

- Write a Python program to print the itemsize attribute of an array of integers to determine the size of each element in bytes.
- Write a Python program to create an array of floats and display the byte length of each element using itemsize.
- Write a Python program to compare the itemsize of an array of signed integers versus an array of unsigned integers.
- Write a Python program to calculate the total size of an array's buffer by multiplying its length with the itemsize, then verify the itemsize manually.
Go to:
Previous: Write a Python program to reverse the order of the items in the array.
Next: Write a Python program to get the current memory address and the length in elements of the buffer used to hold an array’s contents and also find the size of the memory buffer in bytes.
