Other than some generic containers like lists, Python in its definition can also handle containers with specified data types. The array can be handled in Python by a module named “array“. They can be useful when we have to manipulate only specific data type values.

Properties of Arrays

• Each array element is of the same data type and size. For example: For an array of integers with the int data type, each element of the array will occupy 4 bytes.
• Elements of the array are stored in contiguous memory locations.

Operations on Array in Python

Below are some operations that can be performed in an array:

• append()
• insert()
• pop()
• remove()
