### Explanation Let's break down the two print statements to understand why their shapes differ. #### 1. `array[0][:, idxs].shape` → `(20, 3)` - **Step 1:** `array[0]` - **Shape:** `(20, 30)` - This selects the first sub-array along the first axis of the original array, reducing the shape from `(10, 20, 30)` to `(20, 30)`. - **Step 2:** `array[0][:, idxs]` - **Operation:** `:` (all rows) and `idxs = [1, 2, 3]` (specific columns) - **Shape:** `(20, 3)` - This selects all 20 rows and the 3 specified columns (indices 1, 2, and 3) from the `(20, 30)` array. #### 2. `array[0, :, idxs].shape` → `(3, 20)` - **Step 1:** `array[0, :, idxs]` - **Indices Provided:** - `0` (fixes the first axis to the first sub-array) - `:` (all elements along the second axis) - `idxs = [1, 2, 3]` (specific elements along the third axis) - **Advanced vs. Basic Indexing:** - NumPy distinguishes between **basic indexing** (using slices like `:`) and **advanced indexing** (using lists or arrays like `idxs`). - When **advanced indexing** is mixed with **basic indexing**, NumPy processes the advanced indices first, which affects the resulting shape. - **Shape Calculation:** - The **advanced index** (`idxs`) has length `3`, and the **basic index** (`:`) has length `20`. - According to NumPy's rules, the shape of the advanced indices (`3`) comes first, followed by the shape of the remaining basic indices (`20`). - **Resulting Shape:** `(3, 20)` ### Summary of Why the Shapes Differ - **First Print Statement (`array[0][:, idxs]`):** - Uses **basic indexing first**, then applies **advanced indexing**. - Preserves the original row order, resulting in a shape of `(20, 3)`. - **Second Print Statement (`array[0, :, idxs]`):** - Mixes **basic and advanced indexing simultaneously**. - Advanced indexing is applied **first**, reordering the dimensions and resulting in a shape of `(3, 20)`. Understanding the distinction between how NumPy handles basic and advanced indexing, especially when they are combined, is crucial for predicting the shapes of resulting arrays.

### Explanation: Let's break down each print statement to understand why their shapes differ. 1. **First Print Statement: `array[0][:, idxs].shape`** - **Step 1: `array[0]`** - `array` has a shape of `(10, 20, 30)`. - Indexing with `0` on the first axis (`axis=0`) extracts the sub-array `array[0]`, which has a shape of `(20, 30)`. - **Step 2: `array[0][:, idxs]`** - The `:` operator selects all elements along the first axis (`axis=0`) of the sub-array `array[0]`. - `idxs = [1, 2, 3]` selects specific columns (`axis=1`). - Therefore, `array[0][:, idxs]` selects all 20 rows and the 3 specified columns, resulting in a shape of `(20, 3)`. 2. **Second Print Statement: `array[0, :, idxs].shape`** - **Step 1: Multi-Indexing `array[0, :, idxs]`** - Here, multiple indices are used in a single indexing operation. - The indices `0, :, idxs` correspond to `axis=0`, `axis=1`, and `axis=2` respectively. - `0` selects the first sub-array (`shape=(20, 30)`). - `:` selects all elements along `axis=1` (20 rows). - `idxs = [1, 2, 3]` uses **advanced indexing** on `axis=2`. - **Advanced Indexing Rules:** - When combining basic (e.g., `0`, `:`) and advanced (e.g., lists or arrays like `idxs`) indices, NumPy processes the advanced indices first. - Advanced indices can alter the shape order because they are treated as separate dimensions in the output. - In this case, `idxs` selects 3 specific elements along `axis=2`, and since it's an advanced index, its dimension appears first in the output. - **Resulting Shape:** - The advanced index (`idxs`) has a length of 3, and the basic index (`:`) selects 20 rows. - Therefore, the resulting shape is `(3, 20)`. ### Summary: - **`array[0][:, idxs]`**: - Applies basic indexing in two steps. - Maintains the original axis order. - Shape: `(20, 3)`. - **`array[0, :, idxs]`**: - Combines basic and advanced indexing in a single step. - Advanced indexing modifies the axis order by bringing the advanced indices dimensions first. - Shape: `(3, 20)`. This difference in shape arises due to how NumPy handles advanced indexing when combined with basic indexing. Advanced indices are processed first and their dimensions precede those from basic indexing, leading to the swapped shape in the second print statement.
