Numpy reshape an array with specific order

Question

Let\'s say I have this array x:

x = array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8])
x.shape = (8,1)

I want to reshape it to become

array([[1, 3         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way to do this is to specify the orderargument in reshape function.

You need the Fortran order.

Side note: Matlab by default is using Fortran order but in python you need to specify that.

Use this:

x = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8])
y = x.reshape(2,4, order='F')

print(y)
#array([[1, 3, 5, 7],
#       [2, 4, 6, 8]])
