NumPy - Array Operations

The following code is intended to add two numpy arrays element-wise. What is the error?

import numpy as np
x = np.array([1, 2, 3])
y = np.array([4, 5])
z = x + y
print(z)

AYou cannot add numpy arrays with + operator.

BArrays have different shapes causing a broadcasting error.

CThe arrays must be converted to lists first.

DThe print statement is missing parentheses.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check array shapes
Array x has shape (3,), y has shape (2,), so shapes differ.
Step 2: Understand broadcasting rules
Arrays must be compatible in shape to add; here they are not, causing an error.
Final Answer:
Arrays have different shapes causing a broadcasting error. -> Option B
Quick Check:
Shape mismatch = broadcasting error [OK]

Quick Trick: Array shapes must match or broadcast [OK]
