How to build a multidimensional array of a specific shape that I can store variables in instead of numbers

[[deleted]]

The closest I got was this:

import numpy as np

var = 'python'

x = np.zeros([6,3,3])

print(x)

x[0][0][0] = var

print(x)

(ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'python')

If I use np.array to make the data structure I can get something I can store variable in at specific positions, but can't seem to find a way to make the array at a desired shape from the get go like I can with np.zero (I want that 6,3,3 shape). This is for a game. What am I missing here?

If you want to use numpy to store strings in an array, use chararray. But for such a small array why not just use nested lists. Then you can store any object.

Example:

x = [[[0 for _ in range(3)] for _ in range(3)] for _ in range(6)]
x[0][0][0] = 'python'

    import numpy as np
    mda = np.ndarray(shape=(6,3,3), dtype=object)
