numpy.ascontiguousarray(a, dtype=None)[source]¶Return a contiguous array (ndim >= 1) in memory (C order).
Input array.
Data-type of returned array.
Contiguous array of same shape and content as a, with type dtype
if specified.

asfortranarrayConvert input to an ndarray with column-major memory order.
requireReturn an ndarray that satisfies requirements.
ndarray.flagsInformation about the memory layout of the array.
Examples
>>> x = np.arange(6).reshape(2,3)
>>> np.ascontiguousarray(x, dtype=np.float32)
array([[0., 1., 2.],
[3., 4., 5.]], dtype=float32)
>>> x.flags['C_CONTIGUOUS']
True
Note: This function returns an array with at least one-dimension (1-d) so it will not preserve 0-d arrays.
