fix() - ( NumPy Functions )
Heading h2
Syntax
numpy.fix(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj])
Example
import numpy as np
x = np.array([-2.5, -1.5, 0.5, 1.5, 2.5])
print(np.fix(x))
Output
[-2. -1. 0. 1. 2.]
Explanation
The fix()
function in NumPy rounds the values towards zero to the nearest integer value. It is similar to the trunc()
function, which also returns the integer part of the input value but truncates towards zero for negative values.
Use
The fix()
function can be useful in operations where the fractional part of the value is not important, and only the integer part needs to be retained.
Important Points
- The
fix()
function rounds the given input value to the nearest integer. - It is similar to the
trunc()
function, which also returns the integer part of the input value but truncates towards zero for negative values. - The output of the
fix()
function is an array with integer values.
Summary
In conclusion, the fix()
function in NumPy rounds the values towards zero to the nearest integer value. It is useful in operations where the fractional part of the value is not important, and only the integer part needs to be retained. It is similar to the trunc()
function but rounds the value instead of truncating it.
