🔢 Building Strong Data Analytics Foundations 🚀
Today I focused on improving my Python skills by practicing NumPy, one of the most powerful libraries used in Data Analytics and Machine Learning.
NumPy makes numerical operations faster, cleaner, and more efficient—especially when working with large datasets.
🔍 What I Practiced
✔️ Basic Array Operations
- Creating arrays:
array(),arange(),linspace() - Indexing & slicing (1D, 2D, 3D)
- Mathematical & statistical operations
- Broadcasting
- Reshaping arrays with
reshape()
✔️ Intermediate Operations
- Horizontal & vertical stacking
- Boolean filtering
- Using the random module:
np.random.rand()
np.random.randn()
np.random.randint()
- Vectorization for fast computations
🔥 Additional Advanced Practice
📌 Matrix Multiplication
np.dot(a, b)
np.matmul(a, b)
📌 Conditional Selection
np.where(condition, value_if_true, value_if_false)
📌 Sorting & Unique Values
np.sort(arr)
np.unique(arr)
📌 Loading CSV Files
np.genfromtxt("data.csv", delimiter=",")
📌 Performance Practice
- Compared memory usage of Python lists vs NumPy arrays
- Used %timeit in Jupyter Notebook for speed comparison
đź§ Why NumPy Matters in Data Analytics?
- Extremely fast numerical operations
- Clean, simple, and vectorized code
- Foundation for Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn
- Widely used in data preprocessing and ML models
