NumPy: broadcast() function

numpy.broadcast() function

The broadcast() function produces an object that mimics broadcasting.

Syntax:

class numpy.broadcast

Version: 1.15.0

Parameter:

Return value:

b [broadcast object] Broadcast the input parameters against one another, and return an object that encapsulates the result. Amongst others, it has shape and nd properties, and may be used as an iterator.

Example-1: numpy.broadcast()

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.array([[2], [3], [4]])
>>> b = np.array([5, 6, 7])
>>> z = np.broadcast(a, b)
>>> y = np.empty(z.shape)
>>> y.flat = [u+v for (u,v) in z]
>>> y
array([[  7.,   8.,   9.],
       [  8.,   9.,  10.],
       [  9.,  10.,  11.]])

Example-2: numpy.broadcast()

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.array([[2], [3], [4]])
>>> b = np.array([5, 6, 7])
>>> a+b
array([[ 7,  8,  9],
       [ 8,  9, 10],
       [ 9, 10, 11]])
