[SciPy-User] How does coo_matrix((data, (i, j)), [shape=(M, N)]) work?

[Matti Viljamaa]

I’m confused about the following instantiation of coo_matrix:

coo_matrix((data, (i, j)), [shape=(M, N)])

data contains the entries of the matrix in any order. Why can they be in any order? Is data a vector or a matrix?

What are i,j used for?

BR, Matti
