prompt

Problem:
Is there a convenient way to calculate percentiles for a sequence or single-dimensional numpy array?
I am looking for something similar to Excel's percentile function.
I looked in NumPy's statistics reference, and couldn't find this. All I could find is the median (50th percentile), but not something more specific.

A:
<code>
import numpy as np
a = np.array([1,2,3,4,5])
p = 25
</code>
result = ... # put solution in this variable
BEGIN SOLUTION
<code>

library

Numpy
