Identify the error in this code snippet:
from scipy.special import gamma
print(gamma(0))
Agamma(0) causes a division by zero error
Bgamma function requires integer input only
CMissing import for factorial function
DNo error, output is 1
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand gamma function behavior at zero

    The gamma function is undefined at zero and negative integers, causing a division by zero error.

  2. Step 2: Check code output

    Calling gamma(0) raises a runtime warning or error due to singularity.

  3. Final Answer:

    gamma(0) causes a division by zero error -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    gamma(0) undefined = error [OK]
Quick Trick: Gamma undefined at zero and negatives [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming gamma accepts only integers
  • Expecting gamma(0) to be 1
  • Ignoring runtime warnings
