Reduce a multi-dimensional array and add elements along specific axis in Numpy
To reduce a multi-dimensional array, use the np.ufunc.reduce() method in Python Numpy. Here, we have used add.reduce() to reduce it to the addition of elements. The axis is set using the "axis" parameter.
A universal function (ufunc) is a function that operates on ndarrays in an element-by-element fashion, supporting array broadcasting, type casting, and several other standard features. That is, a ufunc is a “vectorized” wrapper for a function that takes a fixed number of specific inputs and produces a fixed number of specific outputs. The numpy.ufunc has functions that operate element by element on whole arrays. The ufuncs are written in C (for speed) and linked into Python with NumPy’s ufunc facility.
Steps
At first, import the required library −
import numpy as np
Create a multi-dimensional array −
arr = np.arange(27).reshape((3,3,3))
Display the array −
print("Array...
", arr)Get the type of the array −
print("
Our Array type...
", arr.dtype)
Get the dimensions of the Array −
print("
Our Array Dimensions...
",arr.ndim)To reduce a multi-dimensional array, use the np.ufunc.reduce() method in Python Numpy. Here, we have used add.reduce() to reduce it to the addition of elements. The axis is set using the "axis" parameter. Axis or axes along which a reduction is performed −
print("
Result along specific axis (addition)...
",np.add.reduce(arr, axis = 1))
Example
import numpy as np
# The numpy.ufunc has functions that operate element by element on whole arrays.
# ufuncs are written in C (for speed) and linked into Python with NumPy’s ufunc facility
# Create a multi-dimensional array
arr = np.arange(27).reshape((3,3,3))
# Display the array
print("Array...
", arr)
# Get the type of the array
print("
Our Array type...
", arr.dtype)
# Get the dimensions of the Array
print("
Our Array Dimensions...
",arr.ndim)
# To reduce a multi-dimensional array, use the np.ufunc.reduce() method in Python Numpy

# The axis is set using the "axis" parameter
# Axis or axes along which a reduction is performed
print("

",np.add.reduce(arr, axis = 1))Output
Array... [[[ 0 1 2] [ 3 4 5] [ 6 7 8]] [[ 9 10 11] [12 13 14] [15 16 17]] [[18 19 20] [21 22 23] [24 25 26]]] Our Array type... int64 Our Array Dimensions... 3 Result along specific axis (addition)... [[ 9 12 15] [36 39 42] [63 66 69]]
