Matplotlib - 3D Plotting

What will the following code output?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import numpy as np

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
x = np.linspace(0, 1, 5)
y = np.linspace(0, 1, 5)
z = x + y
ax.scatter(x, y, z)
plt.show()

AA 2D scatter plot ignoring z values

BA 3D scatter plot showing points where z = x + y

CSyntaxError due to missing import

DRuntimeError because z is not defined correctly

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the code setup
The code imports necessary modules, creates a 3D subplot, and defines x, y arrays with 5 points each.
Step 2: Understand the plotting command
It calculates z as x + y element-wise and plots a 3D scatter plot with these points.
Final Answer:
A 3D scatter plot showing points where z = x + y -> Option B
Quick Check:
3D scatter with z = x + y = A [OK]

Quick Trick: Check projection='3d' and scatter usage for 3D plots [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Thinking it produces 2D plot ignoring z
Expecting syntax or runtime errors
Confusing z calculation with undefined variable
