I am implementing compute\_layer\_style\_cost function in week 4 assignment 2, but it is returning error and I am not able to figure out why wrong value is coming. Any help is appreciated ! Thanks ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dlai/original/3X/6/0/60cb0bb714a0c1ca7b7830adf0920c01380caef4.png) ---

The most common error in that function has to do with the “reshape” operation that is required for `a_S` and `a_G`. Please note that you can’t just reshape directly to the final shape you want, because that scrambles the data. [Here’s a thread](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/neural-style-transfer-programming-exercise-compute-content-cost-reshape-confusion/231502/9) which delves into that point and demonstrates why a transpose is required.
