Find length of 2D array Python

Assuming input[row][col],

    rows = len(input)
    cols = map(len, input)  #list of column lengths

Like this:

numrows = len(input)    # 3 rows in your example
numcols = len(input[0]) # 2 columns in your example

Assuming that all the sublists have the same length (that is, it's not a jagged array).


You can use numpy.shape.

import numpy as np
x = np.array([[1, 2],[3, 4],[5, 6]])

Result:

>>> x
array([[1, 2],
       [3, 4],
       [5, 6]])
>>> np.shape(x)
(3, 2)

First value in the tuple is number rows = 3; second value in the tuple is number of columns = 2.


In addition, correct way to count total item number would be:

sum(len(x) for x in input)
