@AndersonGreen As I said there's no such thing as a variable declaration in Python. You would create a multidimensional list by taking an empty list and putting other lists inside it or, if the dimensions of the list are known at write-time, you could just write it as a literal like this: my_2x2_list = [[a, b], [c, d]].
An easy solution is x = [None]*length, but note that it initializes all list elements to None. If the size is really fixed, you can do x=[None,None,None,None,None] as well. But strictly speaking, you won't get undefined elements either way because this plague doesn't exist in Python. answered May 26, 2011 at 17:34.
If you are not satisfied with lists (because they can contain anything and take up too much memory) you can use efficient array of integers: import array. array.array('i') See here. If you need to initialize it, a = array.array('i',(0 for i in range(0,10))) edited Oct 7, 2016 at 21:54. Mohamed Moanis.
As @Arnab and @Mike pointed out, an array is not a list. Few differences are 1) arrays are fixed size during initialization 2) arrays normally support lesser operations than a list. Maybe an overkill in most cases, but here is a basic 2d array implementation that leverages hardware array implementation using python ctypes(c libraries)
The simplest solution would be. "\x00" * size # for a buffer of binary zeros. [0] * size # for a list of integer zeros. In general you should use more pythonic code like list comprehension (in your example: [0 for unused in xrange(100)]) or using string.join for buffers. answered Oct 30, 2010 at 0:52.
7. For your first array example use, a = numpy.arange(5) To initialize big_array, use. big_array = numpy.zeros((10,4)) This assumes you want to initialize with zeros, which is pretty typical, but there are many other ways to initialize an array in numpy.
To add elements to the list, use append. my_list.append(12) To extend the list to include the elements from another list use extend. my_list.extend([1,2,3,4]) my_list. --> [12,1,2,3,4] To remove an element from a list use remove. my_list.remove(2) Dictionaries represent a collection of key/value pairs also known as an associative array or a map.
dictlistFAIL = [{}] * listsize # FAIL! as it creates a list of references to the same empty dictionary, so that if you update one dictionary in the list, all the other references get updated too. Try these updates to see the difference: dictlistGOOD[0]["key"] = "value". dictlistFAIL[0]["key"] = "value".
NumPy converts this to np.ndarray type afterward, without extra [] 'dimension'. for adding new element to the array us can do: arr = np.append(arr, 'new element') Note that in the background for python there's no such thing as an array without defining its shape. as @hpaulj mentioned this also makes a one-rank array.
12. You can create an empty two dimensional list by nesting two or more square bracing or third bracket ([], separated by comma) with a square bracing, just like below: Matrix = [[], []] Now suppose you want to append 1 to Matrix[0][0] then you type: Matrix[0].append(1) Now, type Matrix and hit Enter.
