What is the difference between ndarray and array in numpy?
Solution 1:
numpy.array is just a convenience function to create an ndarray; it is not a class itself.
You can also create an array using numpy.ndarray, but it is not the recommended way. From the docstring of numpy.ndarray:
Arrays should be constructed using
array,zerosorempty... The parameters given here refer to a low-level method (ndarray(...)) for instantiating an array.
Most of the meat of the implementation is in C code, here in multiarray, but you can start looking at the ndarray interfaces here:

Solution 2:
numpy.array is a function that returns a numpy.ndarray. There is no object type numpy.array.
