NumPy - Array Data Types

What will be the output of this code?

import numpy as np
arr = np.array([300], dtype='int8')
print(arr[0])

AError

B300

C-44

D44

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand int8 range and overflow
int8 can store -128 to 127. 300 is outside this range, so it wraps around using modulo 256.
Step 2: Calculate wrapped value
300 mod 256 = 44, but since int8 is signed, values above 127 wrap to negative numbers. 44 is within positive range, but 300 actually wraps to -44 because 300 - 256 = 44, and 44 corresponds to -44 in signed int8 representation.
Final Answer:
-44 -> Option C
Quick Check:
int8 overflow wraps modulo 256 with signed interpretation [OK]

Quick Trick: int8 stores values modulo 256, causing overflow wrap [OK]
