What advantages do numpy arrays offer over (nested) python lists?..

Answer / Meenu Singh

Numpy arrays offer several advantages over nested Python lists: 1) They are optimized for numerical operations, making them faster. 2) They provide vectorized functions that perform the same operation on all elements of an array at once. 3) Numpy arrays are more memory-efficient because they store data in a contiguous block, reducing overhead compared to nested lists. 4) They support multi-dimensional arrays (arrays with multiple indices), which can be useful for complex data structures.
