The Ultimate Num Py Tutorial for Data Science Beginners: What is the Num Py library in Python?Num Py stands for Numerical Python and is one of the most useful scientific libraries in Python programming. It provides support for large multidimensional array objects and various tools to work with them. Various other libraries like Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn are built on top of this amazing library. Python Lists vs Num Py Arrays – What’s the Difference?If you’re familiar with Python, you might be wondering why use Num Py arrays when we already have Python lists? After all, these Python lists act as an array that can store elements of various types. This is a perfectly valid question and the answer to this is hidden in the way Python stores an object in memory. A Python object is actually a pointer to a memory location that stores all the details about the object, like bytes and the value. Although this extra information is what makes Python a dynamically typed language, it also comes at a cost which becomes apparent when storing a large collection of objects, like in an array. Python lists are essentially an array of pointers, each pointing to a location that contains the information related to the element. This adds a lot of overhead in terms of memory and computation. And most of this information is rendered redundant when all the objects stored in the list are of the same type! To overcome this problem, we use Num Py arrays that contain only homogeneous elements, i. e. elements having the same data type. This makes it more efficient at storing and manipulating the array. This difference becomes apparent when the array has a large number of elements, say thousands or millions. Also, with Num Py arrays, you can perform element-wise operations, something which is not possible using Python lists! This is the reason why Num Py arrays are preferred over Python lists when performing mathematical operations on a large amount of data. Summary: In short – Num Py is one of the most fundamental libraries in Python and perhaps the most useful of them all. Num Py handles large datasets effectively and efficiently. As a data scientist or as an aspiring data science professional, we need to have a solid grasp on Num Py and how it works in Python. In this course, we will start off by describing what the Num Py library is and why you should prefer it over the ubiquitous but cumbersome Python lists. Then, we will cover some of the most basic Num Py operations that will get you hooked on to this awesome library!
