NumPy also allows you to specify the particular dtype you want to assign to the elements of the ndarray.
You can specify the dtype when you create the ndarray using the keyword dtype in the np.array() function.
# We create a rank 1 ndarray of floats but set the dtype to int64
x = np.array([1.5, 2.2, 3.7, 4.0, 5.9], dtype = np.int64)

In some cases, you may need to create ndarrays with random numbers that satisfy certain statistical properties. For example, you may want the random numbers in the ndarray to have an average of 0. NumPy allows you create random ndarrays with numbers drawn from various probability distributions. The function np.random.normal(mean, standard deviation, size=shape), for example, creates an ndarray with the given shape that contains random numbers picked from a normal (Gaussian) distribution with the given mean and standard deviation. Let's create a 1,000 x 1,000 ndarray of random floating point numbers drawn from a normal distribution with a mean (average) of zero and a standard deviation of 0.1.
X = np.random.normal(0, 0.1, size=(1000,1000))

NumPy also allows us to stack ndarrays on top of each other, or to stack them side by side. The stacking is done using either the np.vstack() function for vertical stacking, or the np.hstack() function for horizontal stacking. It is important to note that in order to stack ndarrays, the shape of the ndarrays must match.
x = np.array([1,2])
Y = np.array([[3,4],[5,6]])

It is important to note that when we perform slices on ndarrays and save them into new variables, as we did above, the data is not copied into the new variable.
the slice of the original array X is not copied in the variable Z. Rather, X and Z are now just two different names for the same ndarray. We say that slicing only creates a view of the original array. This means that if you make changes in Z you will be in effect changing the elements in X as well.
