Numpy

   NUMPY

The Introduction:

NumPy is a powerful and popular Python library used for numerical computing. It is a fundamental library in the scientific computing ecosystem of Python, providing support for array computing, mathematical operations, linear algebra, Fourier transforms, and more. In this blog, we will explore NumPy in detail, discussing its features, syntax, and benefits.

Features of NumPy:

NumPy provides a powerful array data structure that can hold homogeneous data types. These array are more efficient and powerful than the built-in Python lists. Arrays can be one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or multidimensional.

NumPy provides a wide range of mathematical functions that are optimized for array. These functions include basic arithmetic operations, statistical functions, linear algebra functions and more.

Broadcasting: NumPy provides a powerful feature called broadcasting that allows for performing arithmetic operations on array of different sizes.

Indexing and Slicing: NumPy array can be indexed and sliced to access specific elements or sub-array.

NumPy array is more memory-efficient than built-in Python lists as they do not require type checking for each element

Installing Numpy :

pip install numpy

The syntax:

To use NumPy, you need to import it into your Python script or Jupyter Notebook using the following syntax:

Import numpy as np

Once you have imported NumPy, you can create a NumPi array using the np.array() function. Here is an example:

Import numpy as np

ARR = np. array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

printed(arr)

The output:

[1 2 3 4 5]

You can also create multi-dimensional array using NumPy. Here is an example:

Import numpyas np

ARR = np. array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])

printed(arr)

The output:

[1 2 3 ]

[4 5 6]
