Create NumPy Array from List

Problem Statement

Create a NumPy array from a Python list and return its basic properties.

Background

NumPy arrays are the foundation of numerical computing in Python. Unlike Python lists, NumPy arrays are:

• Homogeneous (all elements same type)
• More memory efficient
• Support vectorized operations

Your Task

Write a function create_array(python_list) that:

1. Converts the input list to a NumPy array
2. Returns a dictionary with:
   • "array": The array as a list
   • "shape": The shape as a list
   • "dtype": The data type as a string
   • "ndim": Number of dimensions

Output Format

Return a dictionary with exactly these four keys.
