Perform the following operations (in order) on the previous array: trignometric cosine, multiply by 1000.0 and convert it to integer format.
Find the minimum and maximum value of the resulting array in previous exercise.
Find the sum total of all elements of the resulting array.
What is the length of the array 'a' created by the following numpy command: a = np.zeros( int(np.sqrt(np.pi*100)+3.) )?
What is the data type of the array 'a' in the previous exercise?
