dpnp.broadcast¶

class dpnp.broadcast(*args)[source]¶

Produce an object that mimics broadcasting.

For full documentation refer to numpy.broadcast.

Parameters:: *args ({dpnp.ndarray, usm_ndarray}) -- Input arrays to broadcast against one another.
Returns:: broadcast -- Broadcast the input parameters against one another, and return an object that encapsulates the result. Amongst others, it has shape and ndim properties.
Return type:: broadcast object

Limitations

Input arrays are not coerced, so array-like objects and scalars are not supported and TypeError exception will be raised.

See also

dpnp.broadcast_arrays: Broadcast any number of arrays against each other.
dpnp.broadcast_shapes: Broadcast the input shapes into a single shape.
dpnp.broadcast_to: Broadcast an array to a new shape.

Notes

Iterator functionality is not supported.

The legacy nd attribute of numpy.broadcast is not provided, ndim has to be used instead.

Examples

>>> import dpnp as np
>>> x = np.array([[1], [2], [3]])
>>> y = np.array([4, 5, 6])
>>> b = np.broadcast(x, y)
>>> b.shape
(3, 3)
>>> b.ndim
2
>>> b.size
9
