This is a follow up. I actually ran into this today: import numpy as np xArray = np.ones((3, 4))
> xArray.shape (3, 4) > np.shape(xArray) (3, 4) It was confusing to see that both xArray.shape and np.shape() worked. Are they equivalent? In the case of sort() vs sorted(), they are different, but close enough to mistake them as the same thing. Thanks!
