How to normalize a NumPy array to a unit vector?
To normalize a NumPy array to a unit vector, you can use the numpy.linalg.norm
function to calculate the magnitude of the vector, and then divide the array by this magnitude. Here is an example code snippet:
import numpy as np
# Initialize an array
arr = np.array([1, 2, 3])
# Calculate the magnitude of the vector
magnitude = np.linalg.norm(arr)
# Normalize the array by dividing by the magnitude
unit_vec = arr / magnitude
print(unit_vec)
