Python 'as' keyword

I don’t understand why I can’t use numpy. after I give it an alias.

I got an error for this.

import numpy as np

ar = numpy.array([1,2,3,4,5])

print(ar)

I can only type

import numpy as np

ar = np.array([1,2,3,4,5])

print(ar)

>Solution :

That is just how the import ... as statement behaves. You choose one name for the module you are importing. If you don’t have an as clause, the module’s own name is used.

If you want to call numpy numpy, do

import numpy

if you want to call numpy np, do

import numpy as np

and if, for some bizarre reason, you want to be able to use either, do

import numpy

np = numpy
