How to convert singleton array to a scalar value in Python?

Question

Suppose I have 1x1x1x1x... array and wish to convert it to scalar?

How do I do it?

squeeze does not help.

import numpy as np  matrix = np.array([[1]]) s = np.squeeze(matrix) print type(s) print s  matrix = [[1]] print type(s) print s  s = 1 print type(s) print s 

Answer 1

You can use the item() function:

import numpy as np  matrix = np.array([[[[7]]]]) print(matrix.item()) 

Output

7
