A particularly interesting attribute of the ndarray object is flags. Type the following code:
In [12]: x.flags
It should produce something like this:
Out[12]: C_CONTIGUOUS : True F_CONTIGUOUS : False OWNDATA : True WRITEABLE : True ALIGNED : True UPDATEIFCOPY : False
The flags attribute holds information about the memory layout of the array. The C_CONTIGUOUS field in the output indicates whether the array was a C-style array. This means that the indexing of this array is done like a C array. This is also called row-major indexing in the case of 2D arrays. This means that, when moving through the array, the row index is incremented first, and then the column index is incremented. In the case of a multidimensional C-style array, the last dimension is incremented first, followed by the last but one, and so on.
Similarly, the F_CONTIGUOUS attribute indicates whether the array is a Fortran-style array. Such an array...
