Output

# Program Output and Explanation When you run this program, it will print: 

1
2
The first array shape is (20, 3)
The second array shape is (20, 3)
Both expressions result in the same shape, but they involve different slicing operations that are worth understanding: ## Breaking down the expressions: ### 1. `array[0][:, idxs]` - Two-step indexing: - First, `array[0]` selects the first "slice" of the 3D array, giving a 2D array with shape (20, 30) - Then, `[:, idxs]` is applied to this 2D array, selecting: - All rows (`:` in the first dimension) - Only columns with indices 1, 2, and 3 (from the `idxs` list) - Result: A 2D array with shape (20, 3) ### 2. `array[0, :, idxs]` - One-step indexing: - This indexes the 3D array directly in a single operation: - First dimension: select index 0 - Second dimension: select all indices (`:`) - Third dimension: select only indices 1, 2, and 3 (from the `idxs` list) - Result: A 2D array with shape (20, 3) ## Why they're different: Even though they produce the same shape in this example, these are conceptually different operations: - The first operation is sequential (first extract a 2D slice, then index into it) - The second operation indexes the 3D array in one step In more complex scenarios or with different array operations, these two approaches might produce different results, especially when working with views versus copies of arrays, or when using more complex indexing.

Check if all of the following conditions are true:

Output

# NumPy Array Slicing Shape Analysis This program creates a 3D numpy array of shape (10, 20, 30) and then prints the shapes of two different slicing operations. Let me determine what will be printed: 

1
2
The first array shape is (20, 3)
The second array shape is (20, 3)
Wait, I need to double-check this. Let me think through the indexing operations more carefully: For `array[0][:, idxs]`: - `array[0]` selects the first "layer" from the 3D array, giving us a 2D array of shape (20, 30) - Then `[:, idxs]` operates on this 2D array: - `:` selects all rows (all 20 of them) - `idxs` selects 3 specific columns (indices 1, 2, and 3) - This gives a final shape of (20, 3) For `array[0, :, idxs]`: - This performs the indexing on the original 3D array in one go - `0` selects the first layer from the first dimension - `:` selects all 20 elements from the second dimension - `idxs` selects 3 specific indices from the third dimension - This gives a final shape of (20, 3) Actually, both operations will produce the same shape: (20, 3). Let me correct my answer: 
1
2
The first array shape is (20, 3)
The second array shape is (20, 3)
The two print statements print the same thing because both operations are selecting the same elements from the array, just using different syntax. Both are selecting the first "layer" of the 3D array, all rows, and the same three specific columns.
