What are the benefits of NumPy arrays over (nested) Python lists?..

Answer / nashiinformaticssolutions

Python lists are suitable general-purpose containers. Python's list comprehensions make them easy to develop and use, and they enable (relatively) fast insertion, deletion, appending, and concatenation.

They have several drawbacks, such as the inability to perform "vectorized" operations like elementwise addition and multiplication and the requirement for Python to store type information for each element while working on it due to the possibility of include objects of multiple kinds.

Histograms, algebra, linear, basic statistics, rapid searching, convolutions, FFTs, and more are among the characteristics that make NumPy arrays faster.
