Arrays, lists, vectors, matrices, sets - You might've heard of them before, they all store data. In programming, an array is a variable that can hold more than one value at a time. We will be using the Numpy python library to create arrays. + +Since we already have installed Numpy previously, we can start using the package. + +## Import Numpy +When using packages in python, we need to let it know what package we will be using. This is called importing. To import numpy we need to declare it a the start of a script as follows: +``` +import numpy as np +``` +<code> import numpy </code> specifies what library to import. +<code> as np </code> gives the library an alias in your script. It's common convention in Python programming to make the code shorter and more readable.
