numpy.ndarray.flat() in Python

numpy.ndarray.flat() : 1_D iterator over N-dimensional arrays.
It is not a subclass of, Python’s built-in iterator object, otherwise it a numpy.flatiter instance.

Parameters :

index : [tuple(int)] index of the values to iterate

Return :

1-D iteration of array

Code 1 : Working on 2D array

# Python Program illustrating 
# working of ndarray.flat() 
  
import numpy as geek  
  
# Working on 1D iteration of 2D array  
array = geek.arange(15).reshape(3, 5) 
print("2D array : \n",array ) 
  
# Using flat() : 1D iterator over range 
print("\nUsing Array : ", array.flat[2:6]) 
  
# Using flat() to Print 1D repersented array 
print("\n1D representation of array : \n ->", array.flat[0:15]) 

Output :

2D array : 
 [[ 0  1  2  3  4]
 [ 5  6  7  8  9]
 [10 11 12 13 14]]

Using Array :  [2 3 4 5]

1D representation of array : 
 -> [ 0  1  2 ..., 12 13 14]

Code 2 : Changing the values of array

# Python Program illustrating 
# working of ndarray.flat() 
  
import numpy as geek  
  
# Working on 1D iteration of 2D array  
array = geek.arange(15).reshape(3, 5) 
print("2D array : \n",array ) 
  
# All elements set to 1 
array.flat = 1
print("\nAll Values set to 1 : \n", array) 
  
array.flat[3:6] = 8
array.flat[8:10] = 9
print("Changing values in a range : \n", array)     

Output :

2D array : 
 [[ 0  1  2  3  4]
 [ 5  6  7  8  9]
 [10 11 12 13 14]]

All Values set to 1 : 
 [[1 1 1 1 1]
 [1 1 1 1 1]
 [1 1 1 1 1]]

Changing values in a range : 
 [[1 1 1 8 8]
 [8 1 1 9 9]
 [1 1 1 1 1]]

What actually numpy.flatiter is ?
A flatiter iterator is returned by x.flat for any array x. It allows iterating(in row major manner)over N-dimensional arrays, either in a for-loop or by calling its next method.

Code 3 : Role of numpy.flatitter()

# Python Program illustrating 
# working of ndarray.flat() 
  
import numpy as geek  
  
# Working on 1D iteration of 2D array  
array = geek.arange(15).reshape(3, 5) 
print("2D array : \n",array ) 
  
print("\nID array : \n", array.flat[0:15])          
  
print("\nType of array,flat() : ", type(array.flat)) 
  
for i in array.flat: 
    print(i, end = ' ') 

Output :

2D array : 
 [[ 0  1  2  3  4]
 [ 5  6  7  8  9]
 [10 11 12 13 14]]

ID array : 
 [ 0  1  2 ..., 12 13 14]

Type of array,flat() :  
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
