# numpy.char.chararray.shape

attribute

char.chararray.shape

  Tuple of array dimensions.

  The shape property is usually used to get the current shape of an array, but may also be used to reshape the array in-place by assigning a tuple of array dimensions to it. As with `numpy.reshape`, one of the new shape dimensions can be -1, in which case its value is inferred from the size of the array and the remaining dimensions. Reshaping an array in-place will fail if a copy is required.

  Warning

  Setting `arr.shape` is deprecated and may be removed in the future. Using `ndarray.reshape` is the preferred approach.

  Examples

      >>> import numpy as np
      >>> x = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4])
      >>> x.shape
      (4,)
      >>> y = np.zeros((2, 3, 4))
      >>> y.shape
      (2, 3, 4)
