Converting numpy array to single integer

Question

I am a new Python user, and am struggling with what is seemingly a very easy problem — yet I cannot seem to solve it. The problem is that I created an array from np that contains a single value.

In:   distance_index
Out:  (array([14], dtype=int64),)

In:   type(distance_index)
Out:  tuple

So, my question is simple...I need to grab the value of 14 from the array so that I can use it in another part of the code.

Answer 1

To get any index of your array just use "array[index]". Keep in mind arrays start at 0

print(distance_index[0])

However, as @Christian Dean points out, this question deals with an array in a tuple. So you need:

print(distance_index[0][0])
