Merge Two Numpy Array's Of Different Shape Into A Single Array

I have two numpy array's a and b of length 53 and 82 respectively. I would like to merge them into a single array because I want to use the 53+82=135 length array say call it c for

Solution 1:

You need to use numpy.concatenate instead of array addition

c = numpy.concatenate((a, b))

Implementation

import numpy as np
a = np.arange(53)
b = np.arange(82)
c = np.concatenate((a, b))

Output

c.shape
(135, )

Solution 2:

Use numpy.concatenate:

In [5]: import numpy as np

In [6]: a = np.arange(5)                                                                         

In [7]: b = np.arange(11)                                                                        

In [8]: np.concatenate((a, b))                                                                   
Out[8]: array([ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9, 10])

For 1-D arrays you can also use numpy.hstack:

In [9]: np.hstack((a, b))                                                                       
Out[9]: array([ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9, 10]
