Compute the one-dimensional discrete Fourier Transform.
This function computes the one-dimensional *n*-point discrete Fourier
Transform (DFT) with the efficient Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
algorithm [CT].
Parameters
----------
a : array_like
Input array, can be complex.
n : int, optional
Length of the transformed axis of the output.
If `n` is smaller than the length of the input, the input is cropped.
If it is larger, the input is padded with zeros. If `n` is not given,
the length of the input along the axis specified by `axis` is used.
axis : int, optional
Axis over which to compute the FFT. If not given, the last axis is
used.
Returns
-------
out : complex ndarray
The truncated or zero-padded input, transformed along the axis
indicated by `axis`, or the last one if `axis` is not specified.
Raises
------
IndexError
if `axes` is larger than the last axis of `a`.
See Also
--------
numpy.fft : for definition of the DFT and conventions used.
ifft : The inverse of `fft`.
fft2 : The two-dimensional FFT.
fftn : The *n*-dimensional FFT.
rfftn : The *n*-dimensional FFT of real input.
fftfreq : Frequency bins for given FFT parameters.
Notes
-----
FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) refers to a way the discrete Fourier
Transform (DFT) can be calculated efficiently, by using symmetries in the
calculated terms. The symmetry is highest when `n` is a power of 2, and
the transform is therefore most efficient for these sizes.
The DFT is defined, with the conventions used in this implementation, in
the documentation for the `numpy.fft` module.

>>> t = np.arange(256)
>>> sp = np.fft.fft(np.sin(t))

>>> plt.show()
In this example, real input has an FFT which is Hermitian, i.e., symmetric
in the real part and anti-symmetric in the imaginary part, as described in
the `numpy.fft` documentation.
