Broadcast over Array Dimension - julia

Let's say I have a two-dimensional array
a = [1 2 3; 1 2 3]
2×3 Array{Int64,2}:
1 2 3
1 2 3
and I would like sum along a dimension, e.g. along dimension 1 yielding
[2, 4, 6]
or along dimension 2 yielding
[6, 6]
How is this done properly in Julia?

julia> sum(a; dims=1)
1×3 Array{Int64,2}:
2 4 6
julia> sum(a; dims=2)
2×1 Array{Int64,2}:
6
6
You can drop the dimension with vec.

What Jun Tian suggests is the standard way to do it. However, it is also worth to know a more general pattern:
julia> sum.(eachrow(a))
2-element Array{Int64,1}:
6
6
julia> sum.(eachcol(a))
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
2
4
6
In this case sum can be replaced by any collection aggregation function.

Operations with CartesianIndex

I'd like to know how can I operate with CartesianIndex. For example I have array
julia> A = rand(1:5, 10, 2)
10×2 Array{Int64,2}:
2 5
1 1
4 5
4 1
2 1
4 1
2 4
1 5
2 5
4 4
and I want to save all numbers which stay near (in pair) with number 1. I can use c=findall(x->x==1, A), but I will have a cartensian indexes of "1".
There is function x=getindex.(c, [1 2]) it makes an array which I can change, but I don't know how to convert it back to CartesianIndex. And I think that must be a better way to do this.
A[view(A.==1,:,[2,1])]
This literally returns "all numbers which stay in pair with number 1".
The order of returned numbers is columnar. If you want to return it by rows:
A'[view(A.==1,:,[2,1])']
Example:
julia> A = rand(1:5, 10, 2)
10×2 Array{Int64,2}:
1 4
3 3
1 3
3 3
5 1
1 5
2 1
3 3
1 3
2 3
julia> A'[view(A.==1,:,[2,1])']
6-element Array{Int64,1}:
4
3
5
5
2
3
If you rather want full rows than use filter!:
julia> filter!((x)->(1 in x), collect(eachrow(A)))
6-element Array{SubArray{Int64,1,Array{Int64,2},Tuple{Int64,Base.Slice{Base.OneTo{Int64}}},true},1}:
[1, 4]
[1, 3]
[5, 1]
[1, 5]
[2, 1]
[1, 3]

Adding an additional dimension to an array

Note: This question/answer is copied from the Julia Slack channel.
If I have an arbitrary Julia Array, how can I add another dimension.
julia> a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
4-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
2
3
4
The desired output would be e.g.:
julia> a[some_magic, :]
1×4 Array{Int64,2}:
1 2 3 4
Or:
julia> a[:, some_magic]
4×1 Array{Int64,2}:
1
2
3
4
A less tricky thing I usually do to achieve this is:
julia> reshape(a, 1, :)
1×4 Array{Int64,2}:
1 2 3 4
julia> reshape(a, :, 1)
4×1 Array{Int64,2}:
1
2
3
4
(it also seems to involve less typing)
Finally a common case requiring transforming a vector to a column matrix can be done:
julia> hcat(a)
4×1 Array{Int64,2}:
1
2
3
4
EDIT also if you add trailing dimensions you can simply use ::
julia> a = [1,2,3,4]
4-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
2
3
4
julia> a[:,:]
4×1 Array{Int64,2}:
1
2
3
4
julia> a[:,:,:]
4×1×1 Array{Int64,3}:
[:, :, 1] =
1
2
3
4
The trick is so use [CartesianIndex()] to create the additional axes:
julia> a[[CartesianIndex()], :]
1×4 Array{Int64,2}:
1 2 3 4
And:
julia> a[:, [CartesianIndex()]]
4×1 Array{Int64,2}:
1
2
3
4
If you want to get closer to numpy's syntax, you can define:
const newaxis = [CartesianIndex()]
And just use newaxis.

Get 2d index from flattened array

Given the array:
arr = [1 2; 3 4; 5 6]
3×2 Array{Int64,2}:
1 2
3 4
5 6
which is flattened flat_arr = collect(Iterators.flatten(arr))
6-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
3
5
2
4
6
I sometimes need to go between both index formats. For example, if I got the sorted indices of flat_arr, I may want to iterate over arr using these sorted indices. In Python, this is typically done with np.unravel_index. How is this done in Julia? Do I just need to write my own function?
vec() creates a 1-d view of the array. Hence you can have both pointers to the array in the memory and use whichever one you need in any minute (they point to the same array):
julia> arr = [1 2; 3 4; 5 6]
3×2 Array{Int64,2}:
1 2
3 4
5 6
julia> arr1d = vec(arr)
6-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
3
5
2
4
6
julia> arr1d[4] = 99
99
julia> arr
3×2 Array{Int64,2}:
1 99
3 4
5 6
Note that in Julia arrays are stored in column major order and hence the fourth value is the first value in the second column
This can be accomplished using CartesianIndices.
c_i = CartesianIndices(arr)
flat_arr[2] == arr[c_i[2]]) == 3

I want to create 2D array with 5 rows by 1 column

If I want to create 2D array with 1 row by 5 columns.
I could do this
julia> a = [1 2 3 4 5]
1×5 Array{Int64,2}:
1 2 3 4 5
But to create 2D array with 5 rows by 1 column. I have tried
julia> b = [1; 2; 3; 4; 5]
5-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
2
3
4
5
But I got back a 1D array which is NOT what I wanted
The only way to get it to work is
julia> b=reshape([1 2 3 4 5],5,1)
5×1 Array{Int64,2}:
1
2
3
4
5
Perhaps I am missing some crucial information here.
You could also do a = [1 2 3 4 5]'.
On a side note, for Julia versions > 0.6 the type of a wouldn't be Array{Int64, 2} but a LinearAlgebra.Adjoint{Int64,Array{Int64,2}} as conjugate transpose is lazy in this case. One can get <= 0.6 behavior by a = copy([1 2 3 4 5]').
AFAIK there is no syntactic sugar for it.
I usually write:
hcat([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
which is short and I find it easy to remember.
If you use reshape you can replace one dimension with : which means you do not have to count (it is useful e.g. when you get an input vector as a variable):
reshape([1 2 3 4 5], :, 1)
Finally you could use:
permutedims([1 2 3 4 5])

Concatenating arrays in Julia

If the two Int arrays are, a = [1;2;3] and b = [4;5;6], how do we concatenate the two arrays in both the dimensions? The expected outputs are,
julia> out1
6-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
2
3
4
5
6
julia> out2
3x2 Array{Int64,2}:
1 4
2 5
3 6
Use the vcat and hcat functions:
julia> a, b = [1;2;3], [4;5;6]
([1,2,3],[4,5,6])
help?> vcat
Base.vcat(A...)
Concatenate along dimension 1
julia> vcat(a, b)
6-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
2
3
4
5
6
help?> hcat
Base.hcat(A...)
Concatenate along dimension 2
julia> hcat(a, b)
3x2 Array{Int64,2}:
1 4
2 5
3 6
Square brackets can be used for concatenation:
julia> a, b = [1;2;3], [4;5;6]
([1,2,3],[4,5,6])
julia> [a; b]
6-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
2
3
4
5
6
julia> [a b]
3×2 Array{Int64,2}:
1 4
2 5
3 6
You can use the cat function to concatenate any number of arrays along any dimension. The first input is the dimension over which to perform the concatenation; the remaining inputs are all of the arrays you wish to concatenate together
a = [1;2;3]
b = [4;5;6]
## Concatenate 2 arrays along the first dimension
cat(1,a,b)
6-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
2
3
4
5
6
## Concatenate 2 arrays along the second dimension
cat(2,a,b)
3x2 Array{Int64,2}:
1 4
2 5
3 6
## Concatenate 2 arrays along the third dimension
cat(3,a,b)
3x1x2 Array{Int64,3}:
[:, :, 1] =
1
2
3
[:, :, 2] =
4
5
6
when encountered Array{Array,1}, the grammer is a little bit different, like this:
julia> a=[[1,2],[3,4]]
2-element Array{Array{Int64,1},1}:
[1, 2]
[3, 4]
julia> vcat(a)
2-element Array{Array{Int64,1},1}:
[1, 2]
[3, 4]
julia> hcat(a)
2×1 Array{Array{Int64,1},2}:
[1, 2]
[3, 4]
julia> vcat(a...)
4-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
2
3
4
julia> hcat(a...)
2×2 Array{Int64,2}:
1 3
2 4
ref:
... combines many arguments into one argument in function definitions
In the context of function definitions, the ... operator is used to combine many different arguments into a single argument. This use of ... for combining many different arguments into a single argument is called slurping
Functional way to concatanate 2 arrays is to use reduce function.
a = rand(10, 1)
b = rand(10, 1)
c = reduce(hcat, [ a, b])
