NumPy - Array Data Types

Identify the error in this code snippet:

import numpy as np
arr = np.array(['hello', 'world'], dtype='S3')
print(arr)

ANo error, code runs fine

BStrings are truncated silently, no error

CRaises ValueError due to string length mismatch

DTypeError due to wrong dtype

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check dtype='S3' meaning
dtype='S3' means byte strings of length 3.
Step 2: Analyze string lengths and behavior
Strings longer than 3 bytes are truncated silently without error.
Final Answer:
Strings are truncated silently, no error -> Option B
Quick Check:
Byte string truncation is silent, no error [OK]

Quick Trick: Byte strings truncate silently if too long for dtype [OK]
