python array of float64 code example

Example 1: np convert to int

>>> x = np.array([[1.0, 2.3], [1.3, 2.9]])
>>> x
array([[ 1. ,  2.3],
       [ 1.3,  2.9]])
>>> x.astype(int)
array([[1, 2],
       [1, 2]])

Example 2: 16 bit floating point numpy

# to create an x-bit point with numpy, use np.intx
# to create an unsigned x-bit point with numpy, use np.uintx
# examples:
import numpy as np

a = np.int16(10000) # 10000 stored as a 16-bit number (can store numbers from -32768 to 32767)
b = np.uint(10000) # 10000 stored as an unsigned 16-bit number (can store numbers from 0 to 65535)
