How to create an integer array in Python?

Question

It should not be so hard. I mean in C,

int a[10]; 

is all you need. How to create an array of all zeros for a random size. I know the zero

Answer 1

If you are not satisfied with lists (because they can contain anything and take up too much memory) you can use efficient array of integers:

import array
array.array('i')

See here

If you need to initialize it,

a = array.array('i',(0 for i in range(0,10)))

Answer 2

>>> a = [0] * 10
>>> a
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
