NumPy std: How to calculate the standard deviation in Python

Standard deviation is calculated by numpy.std in Python. The value of standard deviation has the float type.

import numpy

a = numpy.array([1, 2, 3])

s = numpy.std(a)

print(s)  # 0.816496580927726
print(type(s))  # <class 'numpy.float64'>

numpy.std takes a numpy.array, list or tuple.

import numpy

a1 = numpy.array([1, 2, 3])
a2 = [1, 2, 3]
a3 = (1, 2, 3)

s1 = numpy.std(a1)
s2 = numpy.std(a2)
s3 = numpy.std(a3)

print(s1)  # 0.816496580927726
print(s2)  # 0.816496580927726
print(s3)  # 0.816496580927726
