Find the mistake in this code:
import numpy as np
arr = np.array([1, 2, 3])
arr[0] = 'a'
print(arr)
ANo error, prints ['a' 2 3]
BTypeError because array elements must be numbers
CSyntaxError due to wrong assignment
DValueError due to shape mismatch
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand NumPy array data types

    NumPy arrays have fixed data types; here it's integers.
  2. Step 2: Assigning a string to an integer array

    Trying to assign 'a' causes a TypeError because 'a' is not a number.
  3. Final Answer:

    TypeError because array elements must be numbers -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Assigning wrong type = TypeError [OK]
Quick Trick: NumPy arrays require consistent data types [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Expecting mixed types allowed
  • Confusing syntax and type errors
  • Ignoring array dtype restrictions
