Return element-wise string multiple concatenation in Numpy

To return element-wise string multiple concatenation, use the numpy.char.multiply() method in Python Numpy. The function multiply() returns the output array of string_ or unicode_, depending on input types.

The numpy.char module provides a set of vectorized string operations for arrays of type numpy.str_ or numpy.bytes_.

Steps

At first, import the required library −

import numpy as np

Create a One-Dimensional array of string −

arr = np.array(['Bella', 'Tom', 'John', 'Kate', 'Amy', 'Brad'])

Displaying our array −

print("Array...
",arr)

Get the datatype −

print("\nArray datatype...
",arr.dtype)

Get the dimensions of the Array −

print("\nArray Dimensions...
",arr.ndim)

Get the shape of the Array −

print("\nOur Array Shape...
",arr.shape)

Get the number of elements of the Array −

print("\nElements in the Array...
",arr.size)

The value of i is the number of times to repeat the string −

i = 4

To return element-wise string multiple concatenation, use the numpy.char.multiply() method. The arr1 and arr2 are out two input string arrays −

print("\nResult...
",np.char.multiply(arr,i))

Example

import numpy as np

# Create a One-Dimensional array of string
arr = np.array(['Bella', 'Tom', 'John', 'Kate', 'Amy', 'Brad'])

# Displaying our array
print("Array...
",arr)

# Get the datatype
print("\nArray datatype...
",arr.dtype)

# Get the dimensions of the Array
print("\nArray Dimensions...
",arr.ndim)

# Get the shape of the Array
print("\nOur Array Shape...
",arr.shape)

# Get the number of elements of the Array
print("\nElements in the Array...
",arr.size)

# The value of i is the number of times to repeat the string
i = 4
# To return element-wise string multiple concatenation, use the numpy.char.multiply() method in Python Numpy
# The arr1 and arr2 are out two input string arrays
print("\nResult...
",np.char.multiply(arr,i))

Output

$python3 main.py
Array...
['Bella' 'Tom' 'John' 'Kate' 'Amy' 'Brad']

Array datatype...

Result...
