Code #1 :  

Python3




# Python program explaining
# numpy.size() method
 
# importing numpy
import numpy as np
 
# Making a random array
arr = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8]])
 
# By default, give the total number of elements.
print(np.size(arr))


Output: 

8

 

Code #2 : 

Python3




# Python program explaining
# numpy.size() method
 
# importing numpy
import numpy as np
 
# Making a random array
arr = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8]])
 
# count the number of elements along the axis.
# Here rows and columns are being treated
# as elements
 
#gives no. of rows along x-axis
print(np.size(arr, 0))
 
#gives no. of columns along y-axis
print(np.size(arr, 1))
