Once you initialize a NumPy array, its metadata and data are stored at allocated memory locations in Random Access Memory (RAM).
import numpy as nparray_x = np.array([100.12, 120.23, 130.91])
First, Python is a dynamically typed languages; there is no need for the explicit declaration of variables types such as int or double. Variable types are inferred and you'd expect that in this case the data type of array_x is np.float64:
print(array_x.dtype)float64
The advantage of using the numpy library rather than Python is that numpy supports many different numerical data types such as bool_, int_, intc, intp, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, float_, float16, float32, float64, complex_, complex64 ...
