NumPy Creating Arrays:

create a NumPy ndarray Object:


NumPy is used to work with arrays. The array object in NumPy is called ndarray.

We can create a NumPy ndarray object by using the array() function.

Example:

import numpy as np
arr = np.array((1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
print(arr)

Dimensions in Arrays:
A dimension in arrays is one level of array depth (nested arrays).

nested array: are arrays that have arrays as their elements.

0-D Arrays:
0-D arrays, or Scalars, are the elements in an array. Each value in an array is a 0-D array.

Example:

Create a 0-D array with value 42

import numpy as np

arr = np.array(42)

print(arr)

1-D Arrays:
An array that has 0-D arrays as its elements is called uni-dimensional or 1-D array.

These are the most common and basic arrays.

Example:

Create a 1-D array containing the values 1,2,3,4,5:


import numpy as np

arr = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

print(arr)

2-D Arrays:
An array that has 1-D arrays as its elements is called a 2-D array.

These are often used to represent matrix or 2nd order tensors.

NumPy has a whole sub module dedicated towards matrix operations called numpy.mat

Example:

Create a 2-D array containing two arrays with the values 1,2,3 and 4,5,6:

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])

print(arr)

3-D arrays:
An array that has 2-D arrays (matrices) as its elements is called 3-D array.

These are often used to represent a 3rd order tensor.

Example:

Create a 3-D array with two 2-D arrays, both containing two arrays with the values 1,2,3 and
4,5,6:

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]])

print(arr)
