Read CSV file to numpy array, first row as strings, rest as float

Question

I have data stored in a CSV where the first row is strings (column names) and the remaining rows are numbers. How do I store this to a numpy array? All I can find is how t

Answer 1

The whole idea of a numpy array is that all elements are the same type. Read the headers into a Python list and manage them separately from the numbers. You can also create a structured array (an array of records) and in this case you can use the headers to name the fields in the records. Storing them in the array would be redundant in that case.
