NumPy arrays can be created from various sources, including Python lists, tuples, and even existing arrays.
Direct creation using np.array() is the most straightforward method, but other functions like np.zeros(), np.ones(), and np.arange() offer specialized array generation capabilities.
NumPy arrays provide efficient data handling, manipulation, and operations such as arithmetic, element-wise operations, matrix operations, and reshaping.
NumPy's broadcasting mechanism simplifies operations between arrays of different shapes, eliminating the need for explicit loops and leading to significant performance gains.
