class sage.modules.vector_numpy_dense.Vector_numpy_dense

Bases: FreeModuleElement

Base class for vectors implemented using numpy arrays.

This class cannot be instantiated on its own. The numpy vector creation depends on several variables that are set in the subclasses.

EXAMPLES:

sage: v = vector(RDF, [1,2,3,4]); v
(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0)
sage: v*v
30.0

numpy(dtype=None)

Return numpy array corresponding to this vector.

INPUT:

• dtype – if specified, the numpy dtype

  of the returned array.

EXAMPLES:

sage: v = vector(CDF,4,range(4))
sage: v.numpy()
array([0.+0.j, 1.+0.j, 2.+0.j, 3.+0.j])
sage: v = vector(CDF,0)
sage: v.numpy()
array([], dtype=complex128)
sage: v = vector(RDF,4,range(4))
sage: v.numpy()
array([0., 1., 2., 3.])
sage: v = vector(RDF,0)
sage: v.numpy()
array([], dtype=float64)

A numpy dtype may be requested manually:

sage: import numpy
sage: v = vector(CDF, 3, range(3))
sage: v.numpy()
array([0.+0.j, 1.+0.j, 2.+0.j])
sage: v.numpy(dtype=numpy.float64)
array([0., 1., 2.])
sage: v.numpy(dtype=numpy.float32)
array([0., 1., 2.], dtype=float32)
