How to create a two dimensional array in python












-3















How to create a two dimensional array in python. Specifically by initiating it with an existing array for the first index.



I have an array:



x = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]


and I want to create a new one from it:



y = [[1.0, 2.0, 3.0]]


How can I convert x to y



I am using Python 3.

>>> x = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]


You want to put x in a list, to get [x]. Hmm...



>>> y = [x]
>>> y
[[1.0, 2.0, 3.0]]


Yay!





In Python, it's best to try the obvious approach first. To quote the Zen of Python:




There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.

Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
