CONVERT A LIST INTO ARRAY

Lists can be converted to arrays using the built-in functions in the Python NumPy library. NumPy provides us with two functions to convert a list into an array:

1. numpy.array()
2. numpy.asarray()

USING NUMPY.ARRAY()

>>> import numpy as np
>>> original_list = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> print("original is ", end = " ")
>>> print(type(original_list))
>>> changed_array = np.array(original_list)
>>> print("\n final  is ", end = " ")
>>> print(type(changed_array))
 
Output:
original is <class 'list'>
final is  <class 'numpy.ndarray'>

USING NUMPY.ASARRAY()

>>> import numpy as np
>>> original_list = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> print("original is ", end = " ")
>>> print(type(original_list))
>>> changed_array = np.asarray(original_list)
>>> print("\n final  is ", end = " ")
>>> print(type(changed_array))
 
Output:
original is <class 'list'>
final is  <class 'numpy.ndarray'>

The main difference between np.array() and np.asarray() is that np.array() will make a copy of the object (by default) and convert that to an array, while np.asarray() will not.
