What is ndarray?

ndarray (also called N-dimensional array, NumPy array): NumPy's core data structure: a fixed-size grid of values that all share one data type and are stored in one contiguous block of memory. It can have any number of dimensions. Because the layout is uniform, operations run quickly and use far less memory than a Python list of numbers.
