In this tutorial, we will learn how to convert a string into a vector in Python. While Python does not have a built-in vector type, we can use the NumPy library to achieve this conversion.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed, make sure you have NumPy installed on your system. You can install it by running the following command:

pip install numpy

Converting the String

First, let’s import the NumPy library:

import numpy as np

Next, we will create a string that we want to convert to a vector:

string = "Hello World"

To convert the string to a vector, we need to split the string into individual characters. We can achieve this using the list() function:

character_list = list(string)

Now, we can convert the character list to a NumPy array:

vector = np.array(character_list)

Verifying the Conversion

To verify that the conversion was successful, let’s print the resulting vector:

print(vector)

Output:

['H' 'e' 'l' 'l' 'o' ' ' 'W' 'o' 'r' 'l' 'd']

As we can see, the string “Hello World” has been converted into a NumPy array of individual characters.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to convert a string into a vector in Python using the NumPy library. This can be useful when working with text data and performing various operations on individual characters.
