Not a duplicate of Python - convert string to an array since answers there are relevant only for Python 2
How do I convert a string to a Python 3 array?
I know how to convert a string into a list:
>>> string = 'abcd'
>>> string
'abcd'
>>> list(string)
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
However, I need a Python array.
I need an answer specific for Python 3
import array as arr
output = arr.array('b', [ord(c) for c in 'abcdef'])
will output
array('b', [97, 98, 100, 101, 102])
Of course, you have to remember to convert back to characters with chr(), whenever you need to use them as letters/strings.
My answer is limited to NumPy array. Try just this:
import numpy as np
array = np.array(list("acb"))
Note: Python does not have built-in support for Arrays, but Python Lists can be used instead.
Given the following string
string = 'abcd'
There are two methods to convert it into an array.
Manually add to a list using a for loop:
array = []
for i in string:
array.append(i)
We can use list comprehension:
array = [i for i in string]
