# numpy.isfortran

`numpy.``isfortran`(a)

  Returns True if array is arranged in Fortran-order in memory and dimension > 1.

  Parameters : | a : ndarray Input array.

  Examples

  np.array allows to specify whether the array is written in C-contiguous order (last index varies the fastest), or FORTRAN-contiguous order in memory (first index varies the fastest).

      >>> a = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], order='C')
      >>> a
      array([[1, 2, 3],
             [4, 5, 6]])
      >>> np.isfortran(a)
      False

      >>> b = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], order='FORTRAN')
      >>> b
      array([[1, 2, 3],
             [4, 5, 6]])
      >>> np.isfortran(b)
      True

  The transpose of a C-ordered array is a FORTRAN-ordered array.

      >>> a = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], order='C')
      >>> a
      array([[1, 2, 3],
             [4, 5, 6]])
      >>> np.isfortran(a)
      False
      >>> b = a.T
      >>> b
      array([[1, 4],
             [2, 5],
             [3, 6]])
      >>> np.isfortran(b)
      True

  1-D arrays always evaluate as False.

      >>> np.isfortran(np.array([1, 2], order='FORTRAN'))
      False
