numpy.ma.compress_cols() function in Python

Prerequisite: numpy

This numpy inbuilt function suppresses whole columns that contain masked values in a 2-D array.

Syntax:  numpy.ma.compress_cols(arr)

Parameters : 

arr : [array_like, MaskedArray]

  1. This parameter holds the array to operate on.
  2. The array must be a 2D array.
  3. If no array elements are masked, arr is interpreted as a MaskedArray with mask set to nomask.
     

Return : Returns the compressed array.

Below is the Implementation of the above function.

Example 1:

Python3




# importing numpy as geek
import numpy as geek
  
# defining an array with mask
arr = geek.ma.array(geek.arange(6).reshape(2, 3),
                    mask=[[1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0]])
  
# applying mask to array elements
gfg = geek.ma.compress_cols(arr)
  
print(gfg)


Output :  

[[1 2]
 [4 5]]

Example 2:

Python3




# importing numpy as geek
import numpy as geek
  
# defining array
arr = geek.ma.array(geek.arange(9).reshape(3, 3), mask=[
                    [1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0]])
  
# applying mask to array elements
gfg = geek.ma.compress_cols(arr)
  
print(gfg)


Output : 

[[1 2]
 [4 5]
 [7 8]]
