What is wrong with this code snippet for QR decomposition?

medium📝 Debug Q14 of 15
SciPy - Linear Algebra (scipy.linalg)
What is wrong with this code snippet for QR decomposition?
from scipy.linalg import qr
A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
Q, R = qr(A)
print(Q)
ANothing is wrong with this code snippet
BThe qr function does not return two values
CMatrix A should be a numpy array, not a list of lists
DImport statement is incorrect
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Verify import statement

    The import from scipy.linalg import qr is correct.
  2. Step 2: Check qr function returns

    qr(A) returns two values Q and R.
  3. Step 3: Validate input type

    List of lists for A works as qr accepts array-like inputs and converts internally.
  4. Step 4: Check print statement

    print(Q) correctly outputs the Q matrix.
  5. Final Answer:

    Nothing is wrong with this code snippet -> Option A
  6. Quick Check:

    Code runs successfully, produces correct Q and R [OK]
Quick Trick: scipy.linalg.qr accepts lists of lists as array-like input [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Thinking Python lists cannot be passed to qr
  • Misunderstanding qr return values
  • Incorrect import statements
