I am working on the file ".ipynb_checkpoints/ME249-Python-crash-course-checkpoint.ipynb".
The first task is:
Using indexing and slicing is much more computationally efficient than using a for loop, here is a proof. The next cell creates a large array of random numbers using a normal distribution.
Can you write Python code for it?
 Write me a the Python code you requested?

#Here is the Python code you requested.

n = 100000
mu = 0.
sigma = 1.
a = np.random.normal(loc = mu, scale = sigma, size = n)

print("a[:-(n-10)] = ", a[:-(n-10)])
print("a[0:10] = ", a[0:10])

%matplotlib inline 
# plots graphs within the notebook
%config InlineBackend.figure_format='svg' # not sure what this does, may be default images to svg format
