‘numpy.ndarray’ object has no attribute ‘save’

The error message “numpy.ndarray object has no attribute ‘save'” typically occurs when you try to use the ‘save’ method on a NumPy array object, but the ‘save’ method is not available for that specific object.

The ‘save’ method is used to save NumPy arrays to binary files, but it is only available for certain types of NumPy array objects, such as ndarray objects created using functions like numpy.array or numpy.ones. If you try to use the ‘save’ method on a different type of ndarray object, you will encounter this error.

To illustrate with an example, let’s say you have a NumPy array called ‘my_array’, which is of type ‘numpy.ndarray’. You want to save this array to a file using the ‘save’ method. Here is how you would do it:

    
      import numpy as np
      
      my_array = np.array([1, 2, 3])
      my_array.save('my_array.npy')
    
  

The code above creates a NumPy array ‘my_array’ with elements [1, 2, 3]. Then, it uses the ‘save’ method to save the array to a file called ‘my_array.npy’. This file will contain the binary representation of the array data.

However, if you have a different type of ndarray object, such as a sub-class or a view of the original array, you may encounter the “numpy.ndarray object has no attribute ‘save'” error. For example, if you have a masked array or a structured array, the ‘save’ method may not be available for those types of arrays.

To fix this error, you need to confirm that the ‘save’ method is indeed available for the type of ndarray object you are using. Refer to the NumPy documentation or the documentation of the specific ndarray subclass to determine if the ‘save’ method is supported. If not, you may need to consider alternative methods for saving your array data, such as using the ‘np.savetxt’ function for saving text files, or converting the array to a different supported type before saving.
