ValueError: total size of new array must be unchanged error

[mnomanmemon]

The code from the load.py is generating error of "total size of new array must be unchanged". It just loads the mnist dataset to an array and then reshaping it. The error occurs while reshaping it (in 3rd line) and it is shown below:

 fd = open('C:\\Users\\***\\Desktop\\MNIST Dataset\\train-images.idx3-ubyte.gz')
 loaded = np.fromfile(file=fd,dtype=np.uint8)

---> trX = loaded[16:].reshape((60000,28*28)).astype(float)

 ValueError: total size of new array must be unchanged

I know what the function of reshape is doing. I just didn't figure it out that how to resolve this error. I have tried many things but didn't work in my favour. Can anyone suggest me any solution?

I can see that you have MNIST dataset as .gz files. You have to unzip those files manually and you will see that the filenames are the same as the original ones on the source code.
