-
examining the

creating an
np.arrayfrom an existing Pythonlistortupleobject
2 Questions to Consider
Take a few minutes to think about the following:
-
readability of code that uses NumPy’s broadcast mechanic
-
performance benefits of
np.arrayobjects with respect to runtime -
performance benefits of
np.arrayobjects with respect to memory usage -
when using an
np.arraycan slow down Python code
3 On to the Review…
The next module (i.e., Semester review & Things to Explore) will serve as a brief review of the semester.
