numpy.hypot¶
-
numpy.hypot(x1, x2, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj]) = <ufunc 'hypot'>¶ Given the “legs” of a right triangle, return its hypotenuse.
Equivalent to
sqrt(x1**2 + x2**2), element-wise. If x1 or x2 is scalar_like (i.e., unambiguously cast-able to a scalar type), it is broadcast for use with each element of the other argument. (See Examples)Parameters: x1, x2 : array_like
Leg of the triangle(s).
out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional
A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.
where : array_like, optional
Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone.
**kwargs
For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.
Returns: z : ndarray
The hypotenuse of the triangle(s).
Examples
>>> np.hypot(3*np.ones((3, 3)), 4*np.ones((3, 3))) array([[ 5., 5., 5.], [ 5., 5., 5.], [ 5., 5., 5.]])
Example showing broadcast of scalar_like argument:
>>> np.hypot(3*np.ones((3, 3)), [4]) array([[ 5., 5., 5.], [ 5., 5., 5.], [ 5., 5., 5.]])
