ValueError: could not broadcast input array from shape (8,1) into shape (8,)

This error occurs when you try to perform an operation that requires broadcasting of arrays, but the shapes do not match up correctly.

In this specific case, the error message indicates that you are trying to broadcast an array with shape (8,1) into an array with shape (8,), which is not possible.

To fix this error, you can either reshape the input array to match the shape of the output array, or you can use the transpose operation to swap the dimensions of the input array. Here is an example of how to do this:

import numpy as np

# create an array with shape (8,)
a = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8])

# create an array with shape (8,1)
b = np.array([[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]])

# reshape array b to match the shape of array a
c = b.reshape((8,))

# or transpose array b to swap its dimensions
d = b.T

# now you can perform operations between arrays a, c, and d without errors
result1 = a + c
result2 = a + d
