NumPy
A Python library for working with multidimensional arrays and performing array-based operations efficiently
&
| + | N-dimensional arrays | Provides a powerful N-dimensional array object, allowing efficient manipulation of data in multiple dimensions. |
|---|---|---|
| + | Broadcasting | Enables operations on arrays of different shapes, simplifying array computations |
| + | Vectorized operations | By applying mathematical functions to entire arrays at once, vectorization significantly improves computational speed compared to traditional loops |
| + | Efficient memory management | Optimizes memory usage for large datasets |
| + | Indexing and slicing | Access and manipulate array elements using intuitive indexing and slicing syntax. |
| + | Linear algebra routines | Offers essential linear algebra capabilities, including matrix operations, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors. |
| + | Random number generators | Generate random numbers efficiently for simulations and statistical experiments. |
| + | File I/O | Read and write array data from/to files in various formats. |
| + | Masked arrays | Handle missing or invalid data using masked arrays. |
| + | Fourier transforms | Perform fast Fourier transforms for signal processing and spectral analysis |
| + | Sparse matrices | Efficiently handle sparse data using sparse matrix representations. |
| - | Limited flexibility for non-homogeneous data | Primarily designed for homogeneous data, which can be limiting when dealing with mixed data types. |
| - | Verbose syntax for basic operations | Some basic operations in NumPy require verbose syntax, making code less concise. |
| - | Slower than low-level languages | Being a Python library is slower than languages like C or C++ for computationally intensive tasks. |
| - | Memory overhead | Arrays have additional metadata and memory alignment requirements, leading to higher memory consumption compared to raw Python lists |
