# Arrays & ndarray The `ndarray` is NumPy's core data structure: a multi-dimensional, homogeneously typed array stored in contiguous memory. It supports element-wise operations, broadcasting, and vectorized computation far faster than Python lists. Understanding ndarray is fundamental to working efficiently with numerical data in Python.
