## [numpy.set_printoptions](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.set_printoptions.html)

```python
numpy.set_printoptions(precision=None, threshold=None, edgeitems=None, linewidth=None, suppress=None, nanstr=None, infstr=None, formatter=None, sign=None, floatmode=None, *, legacy=None)[source]
```

> Set printing options.

```python
import numpy as np

rng = np.random.default_rng()
a = rng.random((4, 4))
print(a)
print()

np.set_printoptions(precision=2)
print(a)
```
