Tell me what this program will print, and then explain why the two print statements don't print the same thing

Output

The program will print: 

1
2
The first array shape is (20, 3)
The second array shape is (3,)
The two print statements don't print the same thing because of the way NumPy handles indexing and slicing. In the first print statement, `array[0][:, idxs]` works as follows: - `array[0]` selects the first element along the first axis (i.e., the first 2D slice of the 3D array). This gives a 2D array of shape `(20, 30)`. - `[:, idxs]` then selects all elements along the first axis (i.e., all rows) and the elements at indices `idxs` (i.e., columns 1, 2, and 3) along the second axis. This gives a 2D array of shape `(20, 3)`. In the second print statement, `array[0, :, idxs]` works differently: - `array[0]` again selects the first element along the first axis, but then the following indices are applied to the resulting 2D array. - `:, idxs` would be interpreted as "all elements along the first axis and the elements at indices `idxs` along the second axis", but because `array[0]` is a 2D array, the syntax `array[0, :, idxs]` is equivalent to `array[0, :, idxs] = array[0][:, idxs]`. - However, the syntax `array[0, :, idxs]` is actually selecting elements from the 3D array `array` directly. It means: - Select the first element along the first axis (`0`). - Select all elements along the second axis (`:`). - Select the elements at indices `idxs` along the third axis. - So, `array[0, :, idxs]` gives a 1D array of shape `(3,)` because it's selecting 3 elements from each of the 20 rows (but since we're selecting all rows with `:`, we only get the 3 elements). This difference in behavior is due to how NumPy handles multi-dimensional arrays and the syntax used for indexing and slicing. The key point is that `array[0][:, idxs]` and `array[0, :, idxs]` are not equivalent expressions, even though they might look similar at first glance.
