## What is Numpy?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NumPy is a general-purpose array-processing package. It provides a high-performance multidimensional array object and tools for working with these arrays. It is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python. It is open-source software.
|

|
## Features of NumPy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NumPy has various features including these important ones:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. A powerful N-dimensional array object
|
||
|
|
2. Sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
|
||
|
|
3. Tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code
|
||
|
|
4. Useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install Numpy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before installing Numpy, ensure you have Python installed on your system. You can download and install Python from the [official Python website](https://www.python.org/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Numpy can be installed via the following pip command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
pip install numpy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```

# How to import NumPy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To access NumPy and its functions import it in your Python code like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
import numpy as np
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We shorten the imported name to np for better readability of code using NumPy. This is a widely adopted convention that makes your code more readable for everyone working on it. We recommend to always use import numpy as np.
