Python:NumPy .rint()

In NumPy, the .rint() method rounds each element of an array to the nearest integer. It returns a new array with rounded values, preserving the input’s shape.

Syntax

numpy.rint(x, /, out=None, *, where=True)

• x: The input array containing elements that will be rounded to the nearest integer.
• out: A location where the result is stored. If provided, the result will be stored in this array. It must have the same shape as x.
• where: This condition determines where to apply the operation. If True, the operation is performed on all elements. If False, it is skipped for the corresponding element.

Example

In the example below, the .rint() method rounds each element of the array to the nearest integer:

import numpy as np

x = np.array([1.2, 2.7, 3.5, 4.1])
rounded_x = np.rint(x)

print(rounded_x)
