Hello list. I am confused about importing numpy.
When I do
from numpy import *
and I try the min function, I get the default Python min function.
On the other hand, when I do
import numpy as np
and use the np.min function, I get the numpy min function (which is obviously what I want).
I know, the latter is preferred, but the former is so dang easy to type. I always thought both imports work the same, but I am obviously wrong. What's the difference?
