A grid of values, all of the same type, and is indexed by a tuple of nonnegative integers

62
Q

62 What is a tuple in python?

A

An immutable sequence of Python objects

2,3,6,9

63
Q

67
Q

67 Why do we do vectorization?

A

Vectorization is the process of converting an algorithm from operating on a single value at a time to operating on a set of values (vector) at one time

68
Q

68 What is type coercion?

A

Coercion is the implicit conversion of an instance of one type to another during an operation which involves two arguments of the same type.

69
Q

69 What happens if one tries to build a numpy array with different data types?

A

If you try to build such a list, some of the elements’ types are changed to end up with a homogeneous list. This is known as type coercion.
