Constants#

NumPy includes several constants:

numpy.e#

Euler’s constant, base of natural logarithms, Napier’s constant.

e = 2.71828182845904523536028747135266249775724709369995...

numpy.inf#

IEEE 754 floating point representation of (positive) infinity.

Returns

yfloat

A floating point representation of positive infinity.

See Also

isinf : Shows which elements are positive or negative infinity

isposinf : Shows which elements are positive infinity

isneginf : Shows which elements are negative infinity

isnan : Shows which elements are Not a Number

isfinite : Shows which elements are finite (not one of Not a Number, positive infinity and negative infinity)

Notes

NumPy uses the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point for Arithmetic (IEEE 754). This means that Not a Number is not equivalent to infinity. Also that positive infinity is not equivalent to negative infinity. But infinity is equivalent to positive infinity.

Examples

numpy.nan#

IEEE 754 floating point representation of Not a Number (NaN).

Returns

y : A floating point representation of Not a Number.

See Also

isnan : Shows which elements are Not a Number.

isfinite : Shows which elements are finite (not one of Not a Number, positive infinity and negative infinity)

Notes

NumPy uses the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point for Arithmetic (IEEE 754). This means that Not a Number is not equivalent to infinity.

Examples

numpy.newaxis#

A convenient alias for None, useful for indexing arrays.

Examples

numpy.pi#

pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433...
