Python Introduction to NumPy Array Organization Indexing

VisibleDeprecationWarning?

I am getting this warning when I try to create the new study_minutes array:

<ipython-input-81-f1dabc6571fc>:1: VisibleDeprecationWarning: Creating an ndarray from ragged nested sequences (which is a list-or-tuple of lists-or-tuples-or ndarrays with different lengths or shapes) is deprecated. If you meant to do this, you must specify 'dtype=object' when creating the ndarray study_minutes = np.array([

I used the same code as presented in the video but it's not creating the same shaped array (2, 100)

Code: study_minutes = np.array([ study_minutes, np.zeros(100, np.uint16) ])

This comes from an update to NumPy. It wants you to now input it as: study_minutes = np.array([ study_minutes, np.zeros(100, np.uint16)], dtype=object)

Which version of NumPy are you using at the moment? You can run print(np.__version__) inside of your Jupyter Notebook to see.

I am on version 1.19.2. Adding dtype=object does remove the error message, however leaves some awkward bugs. When running study_minutes.shape it returns (2,) and study_minutes returns a couple of nested tuples of arrays or whatever: 

array([array([array([array([array([array([array([array([[150,  60,  80,  60,  30,  90,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,
          0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,
          0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,
          0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,
          0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,
          0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,
          0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,
          0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0],
       [  #etcetera

Do you know of any solutions to this problem? Please tell me.

Never mind it's already been solved, I had forgotten to run all the previous code, since I started a new session.
