To access a value in a Numpy 2D array, use the [] syntax.
Suppose we have the following 2D Numpy array:
x = np.array([[1,2,3], [4,5,6]])x
array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
Accessing a value
To access the value residing at row 0 column 1 (i.e. the value 2):
x[0,1]
2
To access the value residing at row 1 column 2 (i.e. the value 6):
x[1,2]
6
WARNING
Do not use [][] syntax
In this previous code snippet, we could have used x[1][2] instead of x[1,2], which would also return the value 6. However, it is not good practice to use double []s in Numpy. x[1][2] involves two steps: firstly accessing row 1 (i.e. [4,5,6]), and then accessing the 2nd index (i.e. 6). On the other hand, x[1,2] involves just one step, that is, the value is directly fetched, and is therefore faster than double []s.
