    Study Notes

    Introduction to NumPy

    • NumPy is a powerful Python library for numerical computations.
    • It excels in handling numerical data, particularly arrays.
    • Key advantage: Allows faster mathematical operations compared to standard Python lists.

    NumPy Arrays: Advantages

    • Enables multiple mathematical operations efficiently.
    • Significantly faster processing than Python lists, crucial for large datasets.

    NumPy Import

    • Standard import statement: import numpy as np
    • Time library import for performance measurements: from time import process_time

    Example Code (List Operations and Performance Comparison)

    • Demonstrates how creating/modifying a large list in python takes longer than the equivalent numpy operation

    • List operation code: Creates a list of 10000 integers and then applies a modification to each element.

    • NumPy operation code: Creates a NumPy array of 10000 integers and performs the same transformation.

    • Note that the implementation to use process_time() is given to calculate processing time

    NumPy Functions

    • Examples of diverse NumPy array operations are showcased below.

    Creating and Displaying a List

    • Creates a list list1 containing the integers [1,2,3,4,5]
    • Prints the list: print(list1)
    • Prints the data type: type(list1)

    Creating a NumPy Array from a List

    • Creates a NumPy array np_array from a list [1,2,3,4,5]
    • Prints the array np_array: print(np_array)
    • Prints the data type: type(np_array)

    Creating a 1-Dimensional NumPy Array

    • Demonstrates how to create a 1-dimensional NumPy array.

    • Code example: a = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4])

    • Display of array example: print(a)

    Creating a 2-Dimensional NumPy Array

    • Demonstrates how to create a two-dimensional NumPy array.

    • Example Code -b = np.array([(1, 2, 3, 4), (5, 6, 7, 8)]) This creates a 2D array.

    • Display example: print(b)

    • Accessing dimensions.

      • The .shape attribute returns the shape (dimensions) of an array.

    Array with Data Type float

    • Displays how to specify the data type of an array.
    c = np.array([(1,2,3,4), (5,6,7,8)], dtype=float)
print(c)

    Initial Placeholders (Zeroes, Ones, Full, Eye)

    • Creates arrays filled with zeroes (np.zeros), ones (np.ones).
    • Creates arrays filled with a specific value (np.full).
    • Creates an identity matrix (np.eye)
    • Examples of creation with shape attributes: np.zeros((4, 5)) , np.ones((3, 3)) and np.full((5, 4), 5)

    Creating Arrays with Random Values

    • Generates arrays with random numbers (np.random.random)
    • Generates arrays with random integers within a range (np.random.randint)
    • Example Code: b = np.random.random((3, 4)), c = np.random.randint(10, 100, (3, 5))

    Evenly Spaced Values

    • Creates arrays with evenly spaced values (np.linspace).
    • Creates arrays with evenly spaced values with a specified increment (np.arange)

    Converting a List to a NumPy Array

    list2 = [10, 20, 20, 20, 50]
np_array = np.asarray(list2)
print(np_array)
type(np_array)

    Analyzing a NumPy Array

    • Demonstrates how to determine various attributes of a NumPy array.

    • Accesses the size (c.size) and data type (c.dtype) of the array.

    • Prints the shape (c.shape) of NumPy array.

    • Prints the number of dimensions (c.ndim) of the NumPy array.
