numpy.ascontiguousarray() in Python

numpy.ascontiguousarray()function is used when we want to return a contiguous array in memory (C order).

Syntax : numpy.ascontiguousarray(arr, dtype=None) Parameters : arr : [array_like] Input data, in any form that can be converted to an array. This includes scalars, lists, lists of tuples, tuples, tuples of tuples, tuples of lists, and ndarrays. dtype : [str or dtype object, optional] Data-type of returned array. Return : ndarray Contiguous array of same shape and content as arr, with type dtype if specified.

Code #1 : List to array Output :

Input list : [100, 200, 300, 400, 500]
output array from input list : [ 100. 200. 300. 400. 500.]

  Code #2 : Tuple to array Output :

Input tuple : ([2, 6, 10], [8, 12, 16])
output array from input tuple : [[ 2 6 10]
 [ 8 12 16]]

  Code #3 : Scalar to array

Output :

Input scalar : 100
output array from input scalar : [ 100.]
