Alternative Data Structures

Evaluate if you can restructure your code to avoid needing to use NumPy arrays as dictionary keys or set elements. For instance:

Use lists or other appropriate data structures that do not require the keys to be hashable.

Explore specialized data structures or libraries that better align with your requirements.
