# numpy.isreal

numpy.isreal(x)

  Returns a bool array, where True if input element is real.

  If element has complex type with zero complex part, the return value for that element is True.

  Parameters
    x array_like

      Input array.

  Returns
    out ndarray, bool

      Boolean array of same shape as x.

  See also

  `iscomplex`
  `isrealobj`

    Return True if x is not a complex type.

  Notes

  `isreal` may behave unexpectedly for string or object arrays (see examples)

  Examples

      >>> a = np.array([1+1j, 1+0j, 4.5, 3, 2, 2j], dtype=complex)
      >>> np.isreal(a)
      array([False,  True,  True,  True,  True, False])

  The function does not work on string arrays.

      >>> a = np.array([2j, "a"], dtype="U")
      >>> np.isreal(a)  # Warns about non-elementwise comparison
      False

  Returns True for all elements in input array of `dtype=object` even if any of the elements is complex.

      >>> a = np.array([1, "2", 3+4j], dtype=object)
      >>> np.isreal(a)
      array([ True,  True,  True])

  isreal should not be used with object arrays

      >>> a = np.array([1+2j, 2+1j], dtype=object)
      >>> np.isreal(a)
      array([ True,  True])
