Define and use Tensors using Simple Tensorflow Examples

By Kuldeep Singh

Hello coders, in this post we will discuss Tensor and we will also see how to use them.

What is TensorFlow?

In Python for mathematical problems we used the TensorFlow library, it is a platform for machine learning.

Tensorflow is used for:

• Mathematical problems.
• GPU support
• Machine learning technique

Before we will proceed we will discuss some basics

We can define one/two/three-dimension tensors.

How to define one-dimensional Tensor?

We define tensor in Python using the list and then we convert it into a tensor.

We will use NumPy to create an array

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([1, 56, 31, 15, 20])

From the output, you can see the dimension and shape of the array

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([1, 56, 31, 15, 20])

print(arr)

print (arr.ndim)

print (arr.shape)

print (arr.dtype)

Mathematical operations using tensors

Suppose that we have 2 arrays like this:

arr1 = np.array([(1,2,3),(4,5,6)])

arr2 = np.array([(7,8,9),(10,11,12)])

You can use the add function like this:

arr3 = tf.add(arr1,arr2)

So the whole code will be like this:

import numpy as np

import tensorflow as tf

arr1 = np.array([(1,2,3),(4,5,6)])

arr2 = np.array([(7,8,9),(10,11,12)])

arr3 = tf.add(arr1,arr2)

sess = tf.Session()

tensor = sess.run(arr3)

print(tensor)

You can multiply arrays like this:

import numpy as np

import tensorflow as tf

arr1 = np.array([(1,2,3),(4,5,6)])

arr2 = np.array([(7,8,9),(10,11,12)])

arr3 = tf.multiply(arr1,arr2)

sess = tf.Session()

tensor = sess.run(arr3)

print(tensor)
