Can I Get Rid Of This 'b' Character In My Print Statement?

I'm wondering what this b charcter is and why it's appearing. I'm also wondering if I can get rid of it while printing the array? Here's my example: arr1 = np.array(['1', '2'], dty

Solution 1:

It means byte literal:

As to getting rid of it you might try outputting as string rather than as an array object

for example:

s="["for x in arr1:
    s += x.decode('utf-8')   
s+= "]"print ("array: ", s , " and it's dtype is: ", arr1.dtype");
