NumPy is an abbreviated form of Numerical Python. It is used for different types of scientific operations in python. Numpy is a vast library in python which is used for almost every kind of scientific or mathematical operation. It is itself an array which is a collection of various methods and functions for processing the arrays.

A tuple is a built-in data type of python used to store heterogeneous elements. A tuple is considered a series or collection and we can perform operations like insert, update, and delete with its elements.

Converting numpy array to tuple

For this purpose, we will first create a NumPy array and then we will map the array into a tuple and convert its type to a tuple.

The map() function is used for applying the given function to each item of a given iterable (list, tuple, etc.) and it returns a map object(which is an iterator).

Let us understand with the help of an example,

Python program to convert numpy array to tuple

# Import numpy
import numpy as np

# Creating a numpy array
arr = np.array(((1,2),(3,4)))

# Display original array
print("Original Array:\n",arr,"\n")

# Mapping array into tuple
res = tuple(map(tuple, arr))

# Display result
print("Result:\n",res)

Output

The output of the above program is:
