dask.array.isreal

Contents

dask.array.isreal#

dask.array.isreal(*args, **kwargs)#

Returns a bool array, where True if input element is real.

This docstring was copied from numpy.isreal.

Some inconsistencies with the Dask version may exist.

If element has complex type with zero imaginary part, the return value for that element is True.

Parameters:
xarray_like (Not supported in Dask)

Input array.

Returns:
outndarray, bool

Boolean array of same shape as x.

See also

iscomplex
isrealobj

Return True if x is not a complex type.

Notes

isreal may behave unexpectedly for string or object arrays (see examples)

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.array([1+1j, 1+0j, 4.5, 3, 2, 2j], dtype=np.complex128)
>>> np.isreal(a)
array([False,  True,  True,  True,  True, False])

The function does not work on string arrays.

>>> a = np.array([2j, "a"], dtype=np.str_)
>>> np.isreal(a)  # returns the result of `"" == 0` currently.
array([False, False])

Returns True for all elements that either have no .imag attribute or for which that attribute is zero:

>>> a = np.array([1, "2", 3+4j], dtype=np.object_)
>>> np.isreal(a)
array([ True,  True,  False])
