ing thing on this topic for exam focused and explain
simple add outputs
Here’s a clear, exam-focused, simple explanation of
NumPy Package: Arrays & Vectorized Computation
🔷 1. What is NumPy?
NumPy (Numerical Python) is a Python library used for:
Fast calculations
Working with arrays (like lists but more powerful)
Main object: ndarray (N-dimensional array)
👉 Why use NumPy?
Faster than Python lists
Supports mathematical operations easily
Used in data science, ML, etc.
🔷 2. Creating NumPy Arrays
✔️ Import NumPy
import numpy as np
✔️ From Python List
a = [Link]([1, 2, 3])
print(a)
Output:
[Link] 1/22
4/21/26, 6:08 AM sem python - NumPy Arrays Overview
[1 2 3]
✔️ 2D Array
b = [Link]([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
print(b)
Output:
[[1 2]
[3 4]]
🔷 3. Important Array Properties
a = [Link]([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]])
Property Meaning Example Output
[Link] Dimensions 2
[Link] Rows & columns (2,3)
[Link] Total elements 6
[Link] Data type int64
🔷 4. Special Arrays
✔️ Zeros
[Link]((2,3))
Output:
[Link] 2/22
4/21/26, 6:08 AM sem python - NumPy Arrays Overview
[[0. 0. 0.]
[0. 0. 0.]]
✔️ Ones
[Link]((2,2))
Output:
[[1. 1.]
[1. 1.]]
✔️ Identity Matrix
[Link](3)
Output:
[[1. 0. 0.]
[0. 1. 0.]
[0. 0. 1.]]
✔️ Range
[Link](0,10,2)
Output:
[0 2 4 6 8]
🔷 5. Array Indexing & Slicing
a = [Link]([10,20,30,40])
print(a[1])
[Link] 3/22
4/21/26, 6:08 AM sem python - NumPy Arrays Overview
Output:
20
Slicing
print(a[1:3])
Output:
[20 30]
2D Indexing
b = [Link]([[1,2],[3,4]])
print(b[1,1])
Output:
4
🔷 6. Array Operations
✔️ Element-wise Operations
a = [Link]([1,2,3])
b = [Link]([4,5,6])
print(a + b)
Output:
[5 7 9]
[Link] 4/22
4/21/26, 6:08 AM sem python - NumPy Arrays Overview
print(a * b)
Python Run
Output:
[ 4 10 18]
🔷 7. Mathematical Functions

🔷 8. Vectorized Computation (VERY IMPORTANT ⭐)
👉 Definition (Exam point):
Vectorization means performing operations on entire arrays without using loops.
[Link] 5/22
4/21/26, 6:08 AM sem python - NumPy Arrays Overview
✔️ Example (Without loop)
a = [Link]([1,2,3])
print(a * 2)
Output:
[2 4 6]
✔️ Compare with Python loop
# Normal Python
result = []
for i in [1,2,3]:
[Link](i*2)
print(result)
👉 NumPy is faster because it avoids loops.
🔷 9. Broadcasting
👉 Allows operations between different size arrays
a = [Link]([1,2,3])
print(a + 5)
Output:
[6 7 8]
🔷 10. Reshaping Arrays
