Answer the following

1. What is NumPy? Why should we use it?

NumPy (Numerical Python) is a powerful Python library used for numerical and scientific computing. It provides
support for multi-dimensional arrays, mathematical functions, linear algebra, statistics, and more.

Why we use NumPy:

• It is faster than Python lists for numerical operations.

• Provides efficient array operations and broadcasting.

• Uses less memory compared to lists.

• Offers built-in functions for mathematics, statistics, and linear algebra.

• Widely used in Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI.

2. Steps to Create 2D and 3D Arrays (with Output)

Step 1: Import NumPy

import numpy as np

(a) Create a 2D Array

Steps:

1. Import NumPy.

2. Use [Link]() with a list of lists.

3. Print the array.

import numpy as np

arr_2d = [Link]([[1, 2, 3],

[4, 5, 6]])

print(arr_2d)

Output:

[[1 2 3]

[4 5 6]]

(b) Create a 3D Array

Steps:

1. Import NumPy.

2. Use [Link]() with a list of 2D arrays.

3. Print the array.

import numpy as np
arr_3d = [Link]([[[1, 2, 3],

[4, 5, 6]],

[[7, 8, 9],

[10, 11, 12]]])

print(arr_3d)

Output:

[[[ 1 2 3]

[ 4 5 6]]

[[ 7 8 9]

[10 11 12]]]
