Library
makerA collection of precompiled routines used in programming to optimize development.
expanded
In programming, a library is a set of precompiled routines that developers use as building blocks for application development. Libraries facilitate software development by providing ready-to-use modules, thereby improving efficiency and reducing the need for redundant code. Most libraries are maintained for various programming languages and offer a wide range of functionalities, from mathematical calculations to graphical rendering.
examples
The NumPy library offers a wide array of mathematical functions and operates on n-dimensional arrays with high performance due to its low-level connections with C and Fortran routines.
NumPy is commonly used in scientific computing environments where large datasets and complex numerical operations are standard, such as data analysis or machine learning applications.
The TensorFlow library is utilized for building and training machine learning models with capabilities to run on both CPUs and GPUs for performance optimization.
TensorFlow is frequently employed in environments that require scalable architectures to deploy on both mobile devices and large-scale distributed systems.
