ue is used if there are multiple. Default is False. Returns ------- intersect1d : ndarray Sorted 1D array of common and unique elements. comm1 : ndarray The indices of the first occurrences of the common values in `ar1`. Only provided if `return_indices` is True. comm2 : ndarray The indices of the first occurrences of the common values in `ar2`. Only provided if `return_indices` is True. Examples -------- >>> import numpy as np >>> np.intersect1d([1, 3, 4, 3], [3, 1, 2, 1]) array([1, 3]) To intersect more than two arrays, use functools.reduce: >>> from functools import reduce >>> reduce(np.intersect1d, ([1, 3, 4, 3], [3, 1, 2, 1], [6, 3, 4, 2])) array([3]) To return the indices of the values common to the input arrays along with the intersected values: >>> x = np.array([1, 1, 2, 3, 4]) >>> y = np.array([2, 1, 4, 6]) >>> xy, x_ind, y_ind = np.intersect1d(x, y, return_indices=True) >>> x_ind, y_ind (array([0, 2, 4]), array([1, 0, 2])) >>> xy, x[x_ind], y[y_ind] (array([1, 2, 4]), array([1, 2, 4]), array([1, 2, 4])) T)
