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 : Output :

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

isfortran : False

  Code 2 :

Output :

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

isfortran : True
