numpy.isfortran() in Python

numpy.isfortran(array) : This is a logical function that checks whether array is Fortran contiguous or not. Order : [C-contiguous, F-contiguous, A-contiguous; optional] C-contiguous order in memory(last index varies the fastest). C order means that operating row-rise on the array will be slightly quicker. FORTRAN-contiguous order in memory (first index varies the fastest). F order means that column-wise operations will be faster. ‘A’ means to read / write the elements in Fortran-like index order if, array is Fortran contiguous in memory, C-like order otherwise. Parameters :

 array : [array_like]Input array 

Return :

 True, if array is Fortran; else False 

Code 1 : Python

# Python program explaining # isfortran() function import numpy as np in_array = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], order='C') print ("Input array : \n", in_array) exp2_values = np.exp2(in_array) print ("\nisfortran : ", np.isfortran(in_array)) 

Output :

 Input array : [[1 2 3] [4 5 6]] isfortran : False 

  Code 2 : Python

# Python program explaining # isfortran() function import numpy as np in_array = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], order='F') print ("Input array : \n", in_array) exp2_values = np.exp2(in_array) print ("\nisfortran : ", np.isfortran(in_array)) 

Output :

Input array : [[1 2 3] [4 5 6]] isfortran : True
