Introduction:

NumPy is a powerful Python library for numerical computation that provides a wide range of functions and tools for performing mathematical operations on arrays and matrices. In this blog, we will discuss some of the most commonly used properties and methods in NumPy and provide examples of their usage.

Properties:

We will start by discussing some of the properties of NumPy. These properties include the number of dimensions, shape, size, data type, item size, and total size of the array. We will provide explanations and examples of each of these properties.

  • ndarray.ndim: The number of dimensions (axes) of the array. This is a property of the NumPy ndarray object, which represents an array of values. The ndim property returns the number of dimensions of the array. For example:
import numpy as np

a = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
print(a.ndim) # 2

This output indicates that the ndarray a has two dimensions.

  • ndarray.shape: The dimensions of the array, represented as a tuple. The shape property returns a tuple of integers, representing the size of each dimension of the array. For example:
import numpy as np

a = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])…
