array
import numpy as np
help(np.array)
array(…)
array(object, dtype=None, copy=True, order=‘K’, subok=False, ndmin=0)
Create an array.
Parameters
----------
object : array_like
An array, any object exposing the array interface, an object whose
__array__ method returns an array, or any (nested) sequence.
dtype : data-type, optional
The desired data-type for the array. If not given, then the type will
be determined as the minimum type required to hold the objects in the
sequence. This argument can only be used to 'upcast' the array. For
downcasting, use the .astype(t) method.
copy : bool, optional
If true (default), then the object is copied. Otherwise, a copy will
only be made if __array__ returns a copy, if obj is a nested sequence,
or if a copy is needed to satisfy any of the other requirements
(`dtype`, `order`, etc.).
order : {'K', 'A', 'C', 'F'}, optional
Specify the memory layout of the array. If object is not an array, the
newly created array will be in C order (row major) unless 'F' is
specified, in which case it will be in Fortran order (column major).
If object is an array the following holds.
===== ========= ===================================================
order no copy copy=True
===== ========= ===================================================
'K' unchanged F & C order preserved, otherwise most similar order
'A' unchanged F order if input is F and not C, otherwise C order
'C' C order C order
'F' F order F order
===== ========= ===================================================
When ``copy=False`` and a copy is made for other reasons, the result is
the same as if ``copy=True``, with some exceptions for `A`, see the
Notes section. The default order is 'K'.
subok : bool, optional
If True, then sub-classes will be passed-through, otherwise
the returned array will be forced to be a base-class array (default).
ndmin : int, optional
Specifies the minimum number of dimensions that the resulting
array should have. Ones will be pre-pended to the shape as
needed to meet this requirement.
Returns
-------
out : ndarray
An array object satisfying the specified requirements.
asarray
help(np.asarray)
Help on function asarray in module numpy:
asarray(a, dtype=None, order=None)
Convert the input to an array.
Parameters
----------
a : array_like
Input data, in any form that can be converted to an array. This
includes lists, lists of tuples, tuples, tuples of tuples, tuples
of lists and ndarrays.
dtype : data-type, optional
By default, the data-type is inferred from the input data.
order : {'C', 'F'}, optional
Whether to use row-major (C-style) or
column-major (Fortran-style) memory representation.
Defaults to 'C'.
Returns
-------
out : ndarray
Array interpretation of `a`. No copy is performed if the input
is already an ndarray with matching dtype and order. If `a` is a
subclass of ndarray, a base class ndarray is returned.
array是创建数组，而asarray是将其他类型转化为数组。asarray可以将列表元组等都转化为数组。而array也可以将列表或者元组转化为数组。
可以看到在数据源为ndarray的时候，array重新拷贝的一份数据，占据了内存，而asarray没有。这样在原始数据源改变一个值以后，array创建的新的数组没有改变其值，而asarray转换形成的数组跟着原数组改变的这个值。
asarray也可以在转换的时候改变数据源的类型。
