NumPy - Creating Arrays

What is the shape and type of the output from this code?

import numpy as np
arr = np.random.rand(2, 4)
print(arr.shape, type(arr))

A(4, 2) <class 'numpy.ndarray'>

B(2, 4) <class 'list'>

C(2, 4) <class 'numpy.ndarray'>

D(4, 2) <class 'list'>

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand np.random.rand(2, 4) output
This creates a NumPy array with shape (2, 4) filled with random floats.
Step 2: Check the type of the variable arr
It is a NumPy ndarray, not a Python list.
Final Answer:
(2, 4) <class 'numpy.ndarray'> -> Option C
Quick Check:
Shape and type match NumPy array output [OK]

Quick Trick: np.random.rand dims = shape; output is always ndarray [OK]
