Getting started with numpy.ndarray

In this section, we will go over some of the internals of numpy ndarray, including its structure and behavior. Let's start. Type in the following statements in the IPython prompt:

In [1]: import numpy as np 
 
In [2]: x = np.array([[1,2,3],[2,3,4]]) 
 
In [3]: print(x)

NumPy shares the names of its functions with functions in other modules, such as the math module in the Python standard library. Using imports like the following there is not recommended:

from numpy import * 

As it may overwrite many functions that are already in the global namespace, which is not recommended. This may lead to unexpected behavior from your code and may introduce very subtle bugs in it . This may also create conflicts in the code itself, (example numPy has any and will cause conflicts with the system any keyword) and may cause confusion when reviewing or debugging a piece of code. Therefore, it is important and recommended to always follow the import numPy...
