The array type
The objects used to manipulate vectors, matrices, and more general tensors in NumPy are called arrays. In this section, we examine their essential properties, how to create them, and how to access their information.
Array properties
Arrays are essentially characterized by three properties, which is given in the following table (Table 4.2):
