Numpy

Numpy is a numerical Python library developed in 2005 by Travis Oliphant. It provides a multidimensional array object (ndarray) and tools for working with these arrays. Numpy is commonly used as a lingua franca for data exchange in Python. Key features of Numpy include fast operations on entire arrays, reading/writing array data, and linear algebra operations.

Numpy
• Numerical Python
• Developed in 2005 by Travis Oliphant
• Lingua franca for data exchange
• ndarray – a n-dimensional array
• Fast operations on entire arrays
• Reading/writing array data
• Linear algebra operations Travis Oliphant

Installation
• Prepackaged with Anaconda
• Using pip
– pip install numpy

12/9/2019 4
nd-array
• A fast, flexible container for large datasets
in Python
• Homogeneous data i.e. all of the elements
must be the same type

12/9/2019 5
Creating ndarray
• np.array(): convert input data to an
ndarray
• np.zeros(): produces arrays of 0s
• np.ones(): produces arrays of 1s
• np.empty(): create new arrays by
allocating new memory, but do not
populate with any values
• np.arange(): like the built-in range but
returns an ndarray instead of a list

Examples

Attributes of numpy array
• shape: a tuple indicating the size of each
dimension
• dtype: an object describing the data type
of the array
• ndim: the number of dimensions of the
array

Vectorization
• Express batch operations on data without
writing any for loops
• Any arithmetic operations between equal-size
arrays applies the operation element-wise
• Arithmetic operations with scalars propagate
the scalar argument to each element in the
array
• Comparisons between arrays of the same
size yield boolean arrays
• Operations between differently sized arrays is
called broadcasting
