def asarray(a, dtype=None, order=None):
    """Convert the input to an array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Input data, in any form that can be converted to an array.  This
        includes lists, lists of tuples, tuples, tuples of tuples, tuples
        of lists and ndarrays.
    dtype : data-type, optional
        By default, the data-type is inferred from the input data.
    order : {'C', 'F'}, optional
        Whether to use row-major (C-style) or
        column-major (Fortran-style) memory representation.
        Defaults to 'C'.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        Array interpretation of `a`.  No copy is performed if the input
        is already an ndarray with matching dtype and order.  If `a` is a
        subclass of ndarray, a base class ndarray is returned.

    See Also
    --------
    asanyarray : Similar function which passes through subclasses.
    ascontiguousarray : Convert input to a contiguous array.
    asfarray : Convert input to a floating point ndarray.
    asfortranarray : Convert input to an ndarray with column-major
                     memory order.
    asarray_chkfinite : Similar function which checks input for NaNs and Infs.
    fromiter : Create an array from an iterator.
    fromfunction : Construct an array by executing a function on grid
                   positions.

    Examples
    --------
    Convert a list into an array:

    >>> a = [1, 2]
    >>> np.asarray(a)
    array([1, 2])

    Existing arrays are not copied:

    >>> a = np.array([1, 2])
    >>> np.asarray(a) is a
    True

    If `dtype` is set, array is copied only if dtype does not match:

    >>> a = np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.float32)
    >>> np.asarray(a, dtype=np.float32) is a
    True
    >>> np.asarray(a, dtype=np.float64) is a
    False

    Contrary to `asanyarray`, ndarray subclasses are not passed through:

    >>> issubclass(np.recarray, np.ndarray)
    True
    >>> a = np.array([(1.0, 2), (3.0, 4)], dtype='f4,i4').view(np.recarray)
    >>> np.asarray(a) is a
    False
    >>> np.asanyarray(a) is a
    True

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Input data, in any form that can be converted to an array.  This
        includes scalars, lists, lists of tuples, tuples, tuples of tuples,
        tuples of lists, and ndarrays.
    dtype : data-type, optional
        By default, the data-type is inferred from the input data.

        (Fortran-style) memory representation.  Defaults to 'C'.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray or an ndarray subclass
        Array interpretation of `a`.  If `a` is an ndarray or a subclass
        of ndarray, it is returned as-is and no copy is performed.

    --------
    asarray : Similar function which always returns ndarrays.
    ascontiguousarray : Convert input to a contiguous array.

    Return an ndarray of the provided type that satisfies requirements.

    This function is useful to be sure that an array with the correct flags
    is returned for passing to compiled code (perhaps through ctypes).

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
       The object to be converted to a type-and-requirement-satisfying array.
    dtype : data-type
       The required data-type. If None preserve the current dtype. If your
       application requires the data to be in native byteorder, include
       a byteorder specification as a part of the dtype specification.
    requirements : str or list of str
       The requirements list can be any of the following

       * 'F_CONTIGUOUS' ('F') - ensure a Fortran-contiguous array
       * 'C_CONTIGUOUS' ('C') - ensure a C-contiguous array
       * 'ALIGNED' ('A')      - ensure a data-type aligned array
       * 'WRITEABLE' ('W')    - ensure a writable array
       * 'OWNDATA' ('O')      - ensure an array that owns its own data
       * 'ENSUREARRAY', ('E') - ensure a base array, instead of a subclass

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        Array with specified requirements and type if given.
