Identify the error in this code snippet:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.optimize import minimize
result = minimize(lambda x: x**2, 2)
plt.plot(result)
plt.show()
Aminimize function requires three arguments
Bplt.plot cannot plot the 'result' object directly
Cplt.show() is missing parentheses
Dlambda function syntax is incorrect
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check what 'result' contains

    result is an OptimizeResult object, not a simple array or list.
  2. Step 2: Understand plt.plot input requirements

    plt.plot expects numeric sequences, not complex objects.
  3. Final Answer:

    plt.plot cannot plot the 'result' object directly -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Plot needs numeric data, not objects [OK]
Quick Trick: Plot numeric arrays, not objects [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Trying to plot complex objects
  • Wrong minimize arguments
  • Forgetting plt.show() parentheses
