        Returns
        -------
        ExtensionArray
            An ExtensionArray of the values stored within. For extension
            types, this is the actual array. For NumPy native types, this
            is a thin (no copy) wrapper around :class:`numpy.ndarray`.

            ``.array`` differs ``.values`` which may require converting the
            data to a different form.

        Notes
        -----
        This table lays out the different array types for each extension
        dtype within pandas.

        ================== =============================
        dtype              array type
        ================== =============================
        category           Categorical
        period             PeriodArray
        interval           IntervalArray
        IntegerNA          IntegerArray
        datetime64[ns, tz] DatetimeArray
        ================== =============================

        For any 3rd-party extension types, the array type will be an
        ExtensionArray.

        For all remaining dtypes ``.array`` will be a
        :class:`arrays.NumpyExtensionArray` wrapping the actual ndarray
        stored within. If you absolutely need a NumPy array (possibly with
        copying / coercing data), then use :meth:`Series.to_numpy` instead.

        Examples
        --------

        For regular NumPy types like int, and float, a PandasArray
        is returned.

        >>> pd.Series([1, 2, 3]).array
        <PandasArray>
        [1, 2, 3]
        Length: 3, dtype: int64

        For extension types, like Categorical, the actual ExtensionArray
        is returned

        >>> ser = pd.Series(pd.Categorical(['a', 'b', 'a']))
        >>> ser.array
        [a, b, a]
        Categories (2, object): [a, b]

        .. versionadded:: 0.24.0


        Parameters
        ----------
        dtype : str or numpy.dtype, optional
            The dtype to pass to :meth:`numpy.asarray`
        copy : bool, default False
            Whether to ensure that the returned value is a not a view on
            another array. Note that ``copy=False`` does not *ensure* that
            ``to_numpy()`` is no-copy. Rather, ``copy=True`` ensure that
            a copy is made, even if not strictly necessary.

        Returns
        -------
        numpy.ndarray

        See Also
        --------
        Series.array : Get the actual data stored within.
        Index.array : Get the actual data stored within.
        DataFrame.to_numpy : Similar method for DataFrame.

        Notes
        -----
        The returned array will be the same up to equality (values equal
        in `self` will be equal in the returned array; likewise for values
        that are not equal). When `self` contains an ExtensionArray, the
        dtype may be different. For example, for a category-dtype Series,
        ``to_numpy()`` will return a NumPy array and the categorical dtype
        will be lost.

        For NumPy dtypes, this will be a reference to the actual data stored
        in this Series or Index (assuming ``copy=False``). Modifying the result
        in place will modify the data stored in the Series or Index (not that
        we recommend doing that).

        For extension types, ``to_numpy()`` *may* require copying data and
        coercing the result to a NumPy type (possibly object), which may be
        expensive. When you need a no-copy reference to the underlying data,
        :attr:`Series.array` should be used instead.

        This table lays out the different dtypes and default return types of
        ``to_numpy()`` for various dtypes within pandas.

        >>> ser.to_numpy()
        array(['a', 'b', 'a'], dtype=object)

        Specify the `dtype` to control how datetime-aware data is represented.
        Use ``dtype=object`` to return an ndarray of pandas :class:`Timestamp`
        objects, each with the correct ``tz``.

        >>> ser = pd.Series(pd.date_range('2000', periods=2, tz="CET"))

        info is dropped.

            frequencies of the unique values.
        sort : boolean, default True
