numpy.percentile()function used to compute the nth percentile of the given data (array elements) along the specified axis.
Syntax : numpy.percentile(arr, n, axis=None, out=None)
Parameters :
arr :input array.
n : percentile value.
axis : axis along which we want to calculate the percentile value. Otherwise, it will consider arr to be flattened(works on all the axis). axis = 0 means along the column and axis = 1 means working along the row.
out :Different array in which we want to place the result. The array must have same dimensions as expected output.
Return :nth Percentile of the array (a scalar value if axis is none)or array with percentile values along specified axis.
Code #1 : Working
Python
import numpy as np
arr = [20, 2, 7, 1, 34]
print("arr : ", arr)
print("50th percentile of arr : ",
np.percentile(arr, 50))
print("25th percentile of arr : ",
np.percentile(arr, 25))
print("75th percentile of arr : ",
np.percentile(arr, 75))
Output :

#2 :
Python
import numpy as np
arr = [[14, 17, 12, 33, 44],
[15, 6, 27, 8, 19],
[23, 2, 54, 1, 4,]]
print("\narr : \n", arr)
print("\n50th Percentile of arr, axis = None : ",
np.percentile(arr, 50))
print("0th Percentile of arr, axis = None : ",
np.percentile(arr, 0))
print("\n50th Percentile of arr, axis = 0 : ",
np.percentile(arr, 50, axis =0))
print("0th Percentile of arr, axis = 0 : ",
np.percentile(arr, 0, axis =0))
