nonzero

paddle. nonzero ( x, as_tuple=False ) [source]

Return a tensor containing the indices of all non-zero elements of the input tensor. If as_tuple is True, return a tuple of 1-D tensors, one for each dimension in input, each containing the indices (in that dimension) of all non-zero elements of input. Given a n-Dimensional input tensor with shape [x_1, x_2, …, x_n], If as_tuple is False, we can get a output tensor with shape [z, n], where z is the number of all non-zero elements in the input tensor. If as_tuple is True, we can get a 1-D tensor tuple of length n, and the shape of each 1-D tensor is [z, 1].

Parameters
  • x (Tensor) – The input tensor variable.

  • as_tuple (bool, optional) – Return type, Tensor or tuple of Tensor.

Returns

Tensor. The data type is int64.
