+A simple tutorial on Arrays
+===========================
+
+Let's start with a simple tutorial to create and modify arrays.
+
+Get the necessary headers for numpy components and set up necessary namespaces::
+
+	#include <boost/numpy.hpp>
+	#include <iostream>
+
+	namespace p = boost::python;
+	namespace np = boost::numpy;
+
+Initialise the Python runtime, and the numpy module. Failure to call these results in segmentation errors::
+
+	int main(int argc, char **argv)
+	{
+	  Py_Initialize();
+	  np::initialize();
+
+
+Zero filled n-dimensional arrays can be created using the shape and data-type of the array as a parameter. Here, the shape is 3x3 and the datatype is the built-in float type::
+
+	  p::tuple shape = p::make_tuple(3, 3);
+	  np::dtype dtype = np::dtype::get_builtin<float>();
+	  np::ndarray a = np::zeros(shape, dtype);
+
+Print the original and reshaped array. The array a which is a list is first converted to a string, and each value in the list is extracted using extract< >::
+
+	  std::cout << "Original array:\n" << p::extract<char const *>(p::str(a)) << std::endl;
+
+	  // Reshape the array into a 1D array
+	  a = a.reshape(p::make_tuple(9));
+	  // Print it again.
+	  std::cout << "Reshaped array:\n" << p::extract<char const *>(p::str(a)) << std::endl;
+	}
+
