What is NumPy?
NumPy!
● NumPy stands for Numerical Python.
● It’s a Python library used for working with
an array.
● In Python, we use the list for purpose of the
array but it’s slow to process.
NumPy!
● It is a powerful N-dimensional array
object and its use in Linear algebra,
Fourier transform, Matrices and
random number capabilities.
● Provides an array object much faster
than traditional Python lists.
NumPy!
● The array object in NumPy is called
ndarray(n dimensional array).
● It provides a lot of supporting functions
that make working with ndarray very
easy.
Why NumPy is faster than Lists?
NumPy!
● NumPy arrays are stored at one
continuous place in memory unlike lists,
so processes can access and manipulate
them very efficiently.
● This behavior is called locality of
reference in computer science.
What is an Array?
Array!
● Array is a container which can hold a fix
number of items and these items should be
of the same type.
● Most of the data structures make use of
arrays to implement their algorithms.
Array!
● Following are the important terms to
understand the concept of Array.
○ Element− Each item stored in an array
is called an element.
○ Index − Each location of an element in
an array has a numerical index, which
is used to identify the element.

What is an N-dimensional array?
N-dimensional array!
● An ndarray is a (usually fixed-size)
multidimensional container of items of
the same type and size.
● The number of dimensions and items in
an array is defined by its shape, which
is a tuple of non-negative integers that
specify the sizes of each dimension.
N-dimensional array!
● The type of items in the array is
specified by a separate data-type
object (dtype), one of which is
associated with each ndarray.
Have you understood the difference
between arrays and ndarrays?

What are the different dimensions of
NumPy arrays?
Numpy arrays!
0-D arrays, or Scalars, are the elements in an array. Each value in an
array is a 0-D array
Numpy arrays!
1D-Array: An array that has 0-D arrays as its elements is called uni-
dimensional or 1-D array. These are the most common and basic arrays.
Numpy arrays!
2D-Array: An array that has 1-D arrays as its elements is called a 2-D array.
These are often used to represent matrix or 2nd order tensors.
Numpy arrays!
3D-Array: An array that has 2-D arrays (matrices) as its elements is
called 3-D array. These are often used to represent a 3rd order tensor.

passed through a tuple.
