__float__

array.__float__() → float

Converts a zero-dimensional array to a Python float object.

Note

Casting integer values outside the representable bounds of Python’s float type is not specified and is implementation-dependent.

Parameters:

self (array) – zero-dimensional array instance. Should have a real-valued or boolean data type. If self has a complex floating-point data type, the function must raise a TypeError.

Returns:

out (float) – a Python float object representing the single element of the array instance.

Notes

Special cases

For boolean operands,

• If self is True, the result is 1.

• If self is False, the result is 0.

Changed in version 2022.12: Added boolean and complex data type support.
