def trim_zeros(filt, trim='fb'):
    """
    Trim the leading and/or trailing zeros from a 1-D array or sequence.

    Parameters
    ----------
    filt : 1-D array or sequence
        Input array.
    trim : str, optional
        A string with 'f' representing trim from front and 'b' to trim from
        back. Default is 'fb', trim zeros from both front and back of the
        array.

    Returns
    -------
    trimmed : 1-D array or sequence
        The result of trimming the input. The input data type is preserved.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a = np.array((0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 2, 1, 0))
    >>> np.trim_zeros(a)
    array([1, 2, 3, 0, 2, 1])

    >>> np.trim_zeros(a, 'b')
    array([0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 2, 1])

    The input data type is preserved, list/tuple in means list/tuple out.

    >>> np.trim_zeros([0, 1, 2, 0])
    [1, 2]
