NumPy - Broadcasting

What will be the output of the following code?

import numpy as np
shape = np.broadcast_shapes((1, 4), (3, 1))
print(shape)

A(4, 3)

B(1, 4, 3, 1)

C(3, 4)

DError: shapes are not compatible

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze shapes
Shapes are (1, 4) and (3, 1). Align from right: 4 vs 1 and 1 vs 3.
Step 2: Apply broadcasting rules
Dimensions are compatible if equal or one is 1. Here, 4 and 1 compatible, 1 and 3 compatible.
Final Answer:
(3, 4) -> Option C
Quick Check:
Check dimension-wise compatibility [OK]

Quick Trick: Broadcast dims must be equal or one [OK]
