## 🔥 Example Code

### 🔨 **Generating a Sine Wave using NumPy**
```python
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Generate a sine wave
fs = 44100 # Sampling rate
t = np.linspace(0, 1, fs)
freq = 440 # Frequency in Hz (A4 note)
wave = np.sin(2 * np.pi * freq * t)

# Plot the wave
plt.plot(t[:1000], wave[:1000]) # Plot first 1000 samples
plt.title("Sine Wave (440 Hz)")
plt.xlabel("Time [s]")
plt.ylabel("Amplitude")
plt.show()
```

### 🔥 **Speech-to-Text with OpenAI Whisper**
```python
import whisper

model = whisper.load_model("base")
result = model.transcribe("audio_file.wav")
print(result["text"])
```

### 🔑 **Audio Classification with PyTorch**
```python
import torchaudio
import torch.nn as nn

# Load audio file
waveform, sample_rate = torchaudio.load("audio_sample.wav")

# Define a simple CNN for audio classification
class AudioClassifier(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.conv1 = nn.Conv1d(1, 16, kernel_size=3, stride=1, padding=1)
self.fc1 = nn.Linear(16, 10)

def forward(self, x):
x = self.conv1(x)
x = x.mean(dim=-1)
x = self.fc1(x)
return x

model = AudioClassifier()
output = model(waveform.unsqueeze(0))
print("Predicted Class:", torch.argmax(output))
```
