NumPy Basics: Understanding ndarrays

NumPy is a Python library used for working with homogeneous multidimensional arrays, known as ndarrays. It provides functionality for handling arrays of the same type indexed by non-negative integers, with dimensions referred to as axes. The library is distinct from the Standard Python Library class array.array, which is limited to one-dimensional arrays.

Numpy Basics

NumPy is a Python library.


NumPy is used for working with arrays.
NumPy is short for "Numerical Python".

NumPy’s main object is the homogeneous multidimensional array. It is a table of elements


(usually numbers), all of the same type, indexed by a tuple of non-negative integers. In
NumPy dimensions are called axes.
NumPy’s array class is called ndarray. It is also known by the alias array. Note that
[Link] is not the same as the Standard Python Library class [Link], which only
handles one-dimensional arrays and offers less functionality.
The more important attributes of an ndarray object are:
[Link]
the number of axes (dimensions) of the array.
