SciPy - Linear Algebra (scipy.linalg)

What is wrong with this code snippet?

import numpy as np
from scipy.linalg import svd
A = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
U, s, VT = svd(A)
print(s[2])

AU and VT are not returned by svd

Bs is not returned by svd

CIndexError because s has only 2 elements

Dprint statement syntax error

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check shape of s
For a 2x2 matrix, s has length 2 (two singular values).
Step 2: Identify index error
Accessing s[2] causes IndexError as valid indices are 0 and 1.
Final Answer:
IndexError because s has only 2 elements -> Option C
Quick Check:
Index out of range error = s length 2 [OK]

Quick Trick: s length equals min(matrix rows, columns) [OK]
