python-scipyHow can I use Python and NumPy to answer specific questions?

Python and NumPy can be used to answer specific questions by performing calculations on data. For example, a NumPy array can be used to store data and then calculations can be performed on the data to answer the question.

import numpy as np

# Create a NumPy array of numbers
data = np.array([1,2,3,4,5])

# Calculate the sum of the array
sum = np.sum(data)

# Print the sum
print(sum)

# Output
15

The code above creates a NumPy array of numbers and then calculates the sum of the array using the NumPy function np.sum(). The output of the code is 15.

The parts of the code are:

• import numpy as np: imports the NumPy library
• data = np.array([1,2,3,4,5]): creates a NumPy array of numbers
• sum = np.sum(data): calculates the sum of the array
• print(sum): prints the sum
