2.4.1. SetUp

>>> import numpy as np

2.4.2. Recap

>>> a = np.array([1, 2, 3])
>>> b = np.array(range(0, 10))
>>> c = np.arange(0, 10, 2)
>>> d = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
>>> e = np.zeros(shape=(2,3))
>>> f = np.zeros_like(a)
>>> g = np.ones(shape=(2,3))
>>> h = np.ones_like(a)
>>> i = np.empty(shape=(2,3))
>>> j = np.empty_like(a)
>>> k = np.full(shape=(2, 2), fill_value=np.nan)
>>> l = np.full_like(a, np.nan)
>>> m = np.identity(4)
