Merge Two Arrays Vertically To Array Of Tuples Using Numpy

I have two numpy arrays: x = np.array([-1, 0, 1, 2]) y = np.array([-2, -1, 0, 1]) Is there a way to merge these arrays together like tupples: array = [(-1, -2), (0, -1), (1, 0), (

Solution 1:

In [469]: x = np.array([-1, 0, 1, 2])
In [470]: y = np.array([-2, -1, 0, 1])

join them into 2d array:

In [471]: np.array((x,y))
Out[471]: 
array([[-1,  0,  1,  2],
       [-2, -1,  0,  1]])

transpose that array:

In [472]: np.array((x,y)).T
Out[472]: 
array([[-1, -2],
       [ 0, -1],
       [ 1,  0],
       [ 2,  1]])

or use the standard Python zip - this treats the arrays as lists

In [474]: zip(x,y)   # list(zip in py3
Out[474]: [(-1, -2), (0, -1), (1, 0), (2, 1)]
