Output

Let's analyze the program step by step and understand the output. ### Program Output The program will print: 

1
2
The first array shape is (20, 3)
The second array shape is (20,)
### Explanation The two print statements do not print the same thing because of how NumPy handles indexing and slicing in multi-dimensional arrays. #### 1. `array[0][:, idxs].shape` - `array[0]` selects the first slice along the first dimension, resulting in a shape of `(20, 30)`. - `[:, idxs]` then slices this 2D array: - `:` selects all rows (20 rows). - `idxs` selects columns with indices `[1, 2, 3]` (3 columns). - The resulting shape is `(20, 3)`. #### 2. `array[0, :, idxs].shape` - Here, the indexing is done in a single step: - `0` selects the first slice along the first dimension. - `:` selects all elements along the second dimension (20 rows). - `idxs` selects elements along the third dimension with indices `[1, 2, 3]`. - NumPy interprets this as selecting 3 elements along the third dimension for each of the 20 rows, resulting in a shape of `(20,)`. #### Key Difference - In the first case (`array[0][:, idxs]`), the slicing is done in two steps: first selecting a 2D array and then slicing it. - In the second case (`array[0, :, idxs]`), the slicing is done in one step, and NumPy treats the indexing differently, resulting in a 1D array. ### Summary The two print statements produce different shapes because of how NumPy interprets multi-dimensional indexing. The first statement results in a 2D array `(20, 3)`, while the second statement results in a 1D array `(20,)`.
