Matplotlib - Export and Publication Quality
Identify the error in this code snippet:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True
plt.title('$\sqrt{2}$')
plt.show()
ANo error, code runs and shows square root symbol
BSyntax error due to missing raw string prefix
CRuntime error because usetex requires extra LaTeX packages
DPlot shows title as literal string without rendering
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check string format for LaTeX

    Using normal string with escaped backslash is valid for LaTeX math.
  2. Step 2: Confirm usetex=True allows rendering

    With usetex=True, the square root symbol renders correctly.
  3. Final Answer:

    No error, code runs and shows square root symbol -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Proper string + usetex True = rendered math [OK]
Quick Trick: Backslash must be escaped or use raw string for LaTeX [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking raw string is mandatory
  • Assuming missing packages cause immediate error
  • Expecting literal string output
