NumPy: Convert 1-D arrays as columns into a 2-D array

NumPy: Array Object Exercise-59 with Solution

Convert 1D Arrays to 2D (as Columns)

Write a NumPy program to convert 1-D arrays as columns into a 2-D array.
Sample array: (10,20,30), (40,50,60)

Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Importing the NumPy library with an alias 'np'
import numpy as np

# Creating NumPy arrays 'a' and 'b'
a = np.array((10, 20, 30))
b = np.array((40, 50, 60))

# Stacking arrays 'a' and 'b' as columns using np.column_stack
c = np.column_stack((a, b))

# Printing the resulting array 'c'
print(c) 

Sample Output:

[[10 40]                                                               
 [20 50]                                                               
 [30 60]] 

Explanation:

‘a = np.array((10,20,30))’ creates a 1D array a with shape (3,).

‘b = np.array((40,50,60))’ creates another 1D array b with shape (3,).

c = np.column_stack((a, b)): The np.column_stack() function is used to stack the two arrays ‘a’ and ‘b’ as columns in a new 2D array. The resulting array ‘c’ has the shape (3, 2), where the first column contains the elements of ‘a’ and the second column contains the elements of ‘b’.
