data type not understood

Question

I’m trying to use a matrix to compute stuff. The code is this

import numpy as np
# some code
mmatrix = np.zeros(nrows, ncols)
print mmatrix[0, 0]

but I get ‘data type not understood’, and it works if I do it from terminal.

Answer 1

Try:

mmatrix = np.zeros((nrows, ncols))

Since the shape parameter has to be an int or sequence of ints

Otherwise you are passing ncols to np.zeros as the dtype.
