What will be the output of the following code?

from scipy.io import loadmat
mat_data = loadmat('sample.mat')
print(type(mat_data))

Assume sample.mat is a valid MATLAB file.

A<class 'numpy.ndarray'>
B<class 'dict'>
C<class 'list'>
DFileNotFoundError
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand loadmat output

    loadmat returns a Python dictionary containing MATLAB variables.
  2. Step 2: Check the printed type

    Printing type of mat_data shows <class 'dict'>.
  3. Final Answer:

    <class 'dict'> -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    loadmat returns dict [OK]
Quick Trick: loadmat output is always a dict [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Expecting a list or array directly
  • Assuming loadmat raises error if file exists
  • Confusing output type with variable inside dict
