concatenate

concatenate(seq, axis=0, out=None)

Join a sequence of arrays along an existing axis.

Parameters:
a1, a2, … : sequence of array_like

The arrays must have the same shape, except in the dimension corresponding to axis (the first, by default).

axis : int, optional

The axis along which the arrays will be joined. If axis is None, arrays are flattened before use. Default is 0.

out : ndarray, optional

If provided, the destination to place the result. The shape must be correct, matching that of what concatenate would have returned if no out argument were specified.

Returns:
res : ndarray

The concatenated array.

Examples

>>> a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> b = np.array([[5, 6]])
>>> np.concatenate((a, b), axis=0)
array([[1., 2.],
       [3., 4.],
       [5., 6.]])
>>> np.concatenate((a, b.T), axis=1)
array([[1., 2., 5.],
       [3., 4., 6.]])
>>> np.concatenate((a, b), axis=None)
array([1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 6.])
