python中dtype是object是什么意思_dtype = object在创建numpy数组时意味着什么？ - python代码 - 源码查...

问题

I was experimenting with numpy arrays and created a numpy array of strings:

ar1 = np.array(['avinash', 'jay'])

As I have read from from their official guide, operations on numpy array are propagated to individual elements. So I did this:

ar1 * 2

But then I get this error:

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)

in ()

----> 1 ar1 * 2

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'numpy.ndarray' and 'int'

But when I used dtype=object

ar1 = np.array(['avinash', 'jay'], dtype=object)

while creating the array I am able to do all operations.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

NumPy arrays are stored as contiguous blocks of memory. They usually have a single datatype (e.g. integers, floats or fixed-length strings) and then the bits in memor
