Introduction to Numpy
NumPy is a fundamental Python library for numerical computing. Key elements in a NumPy cheat sheet include:
Importing: Use
import numpy as np
to access NumPy functions.Arrays: Create arrays with
np.array([1, 2, 3])
.Array Operations: Perform element-wise operations like
+
,-
,*
,/
, and functions such asnp.sum()
,np.mean()
,np.std()
.Reshape: Change the shape of arrays using
np.reshape()
.Indexing: Access elements with
array[index]
or slicingarray[start:end]
.Linspace and Arange: Generate ranges of values using
np.linspace(start, stop, num)
andnp.arange(start, stop, step)
.Random: Generate random numbers with
np.random.random(size)
.
These features make NumPy essential for efficient data manipulation.
