SciPy - Sparse Matrices (scipy.sparse)
Identify the error in the following code snippet:
from scipy.sparse import csr_matrix
mat = csr_matrix([[1, 0], [0, 2]])
mat_csc = mat.tocsc
print(type(mat_csc))
AMissing parentheses when calling tocsr()
BMatrix initialization syntax error
CIncorrect import statement
DMissing parentheses when calling tocsc()
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check method call syntax

    The code uses mat.tocsc without parentheses, so it references the method, not calls it.
  2. Step 2: Correct method call

    Adding parentheses mat.tocsc() calls the method and returns the converted matrix.
  3. Final Answer:

    Missing parentheses when calling tocsc() -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Method call needs parentheses [OK]
Quick Trick: Always add () to call conversion methods [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Forgetting parentheses on conversion methods
  • Confusing tocsr() with tocsc()
  • Incorrect import statements
