Hello everyone! In this tutorial, we will be studying the NumPy rint function. This function is simple to understand and easy to use. Let’s get started.
What is numpy.rint()?
NumPy rint is another mathematical function provided by the NumPy Library which rounds the input number to the nearest integer.
Let’s look at the syntax of this function.
Syntax of numpy.rint()
numpy.rint(input)
Here, the input can be a single number or a NumPy array of numbers. It’s important to note that the array returned by the numpy.rint() function has same type and shape as the input array.
Working with the NumPy rint
We are done with the syntax part :). Let’s now write some code to understand this function better.
numpy.rint() for single number as input
import numpy as np
# Rounding the input values to the nearest integer
print("Rounded Value of 0.5 is:",np.rint(0.5))
print("Rounded Value of 1.5 is:",np.rint(1.5))
print("Rounded Value of 1.74 is:",np.rint(1.74))
print("Rounded Value of 5.56 is:",np.rint(5.56))
print("Rounded Value of 5.243 is:",np.rint(5.243))
print("Rounded Value of 10.111 is:",np.rint(10.111))
print("Rounded Value of 10.179 is:",np.rint(10.179))
Output
Rounded Value of 0.5 is: 0.0
Rounded Value of 1.5 is: 2.0
Rounded Value of 1.74 is: 2.0
Rounded Value of 5.56 is: 6.0
Rounded Value of 5.243 is: 5.0
Rounded Value of 10.111 is: 10.0
Rounded Value of 10.179 is: 10.0
There is one interesting thing to observe is that the output of the numpy.rint() function is always an integer value. Let’s now try using the function with NumPy Array.
NumPy rint for a NumPy array of Numbers
import numpy as np
a = np.array((0.52 , 2.55 , 4.51 , 7.56 , 19.32))
print("Input Array:\n",a)
print("Rounded Values:\n",np.rint(a))
Output
Input Array:
[ 0.52 2.55 4.51 7.56 19.32]
Rounded Values:
[ 1. 3. 5. 8. 19.]
The output array is pretty much obvious where the elements of the input array are rounded to the nearest integer values.
