Well, much like Qwertiony said: https://code.sololearn.com/cWjC30xs7wRV/?ref=app numpy.array can only be of one type, so you have to choose the most capacious one 👍

You cant mix up types in default ndarray. To do this you need to specify an object type. arr =np.array(..., dtype=object). might work with ones np.ones(..., dtype=object), not sure though

Kuba Siekierzyński what impressed me the most is your vocabulary. I had to lookup 'capacious'!
