numpy.flatnonzero — NumPy v1.11 Manual (original) (raw)

numpy.flatnonzero(a)[source]

Return indices that are non-zero in the flattened version of a.

This is equivalent to a.ravel().nonzero()[0].

Parameters: a : ndarray Input array.
Returns: res : ndarray Output array, containing the indices of the elements of _a.ravel()_that are non-zero.

nonzero

Return the indices of the non-zero elements of the input array.

ravel

Return a 1-D array containing the elements of the input array.

Examples

x = np.arange(-2, 3) x array([-2, -1, 0, 1, 2]) np.flatnonzero(x) array([0, 1, 3, 4])

Use the indices of the non-zero elements as an index array to extract these elements:

x.ravel()[np.flatnonzero(x)] array([-2, -1, 1, 2])
