The Numpy library in Python comes with a number of built-in functions to manipulate the data in arrays. In this tutorial, we will look at a function that helps us set all the values in a Numpy array to one.
How to set all values to one in Numpy?
You can use the numpy.ndarray.fill()
function to set all the values in a Numpy array to one. Pass 1
as the argument (this is the value used to fill all the values in the array).
The following is the syntax –
# set all values in numpy array ar to 1 ar.fill(1)
It modifies the array in-place, filling each value with one (the passed value).
Let’s now look at a step-by-step example of using the above function.
Step 1 – Create a Numpy array
First, we will create a Numpy array that we will use throughout this tutorial.
import numpy as np # create a numpy array ar = np.array([-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, -4]) # display the array print(ar)
Output:
[-2 -1 0 1 2 3 -4]
Here, we used the numpy.array()
function to create a Numpy array containing some numbers.

Step 2 – Set each value to 1 using numpy.ndarray.fill()
Apply the numpy.ndarray.fill()
function on the array and pass 1
as the parameter to set each value to one in the array.
Let’s apply this function to the array created above.
# set all values to one ar.fill(1) # display the array print(ar)
Output:
[1 1 1 1 1 1 1]
You can see that each value in the array ar
is now 1.
The numpy.ndarray.fill()
function works similarly on higher-dimensional arrays. For example, let’s apply this function to a 2D array of some numbers.
# create 2D numpy array ar = np.array([[-1, 2, -3], [0, 51, 7], [1, 125, 8]]) # set all values to one ar.fill(1) # display the array print(ar)
Output:
[[1 1 1] [1 1 1] [1 1 1]]
You can see that each value in the above 2D array is now one.
