Q 2: Di erence between numpy array and python list ?

Ans- Numpy is the core library for scien c compu ng in Python. It provides a
high-performance mul dimensional array object, and tools for working with
these arrays. A numpy array is a grid of values, all of the same type, and is
indexed by a tuple of nonnega ve integers. The number of dimensions is the
rank of the array; the shape of an array is a tuple of integers giving the size of
the array along each dimension numpy array is a grid of values, all of the same
type, and is indexed by a tuple of nonnega ve integers. A list is the Python
equivalent of an array, but is resizeable and can contain elements of di erent
types.
The Python core library provided Lists. A list is the Python equivalent of an
array, but is resizable and can contain elements of di erent types.
A common beginner ques on is what is the real di erence here. The answer is
performance. NumPy data structures perform be er in:
• Size - NumPy data structures take up less space
• Performance - they have a need for speed and are faster than lists
• Func onality - SciPy and NumPy have op mized func ons such as linear
algebra opera ons built in.
