numpy.
ldexp
(x1, x2, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj]) = <ufunc 'ldexp'>¶ Returns x1 * 2**x2, element-wise.
The mantissas x1 and twos exponents x2 are used to construct floating point numbers
x1 * 2**x2
.Parameters: x1 : array_like
Array of multipliers.
x2 : array_like, int
Array of twos exponents.
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: y : ndarray or scalar
The result of
x1 * 2**x2
.Notes
Complex dtypes are not supported, they will raise a TypeError.
ldexp
is useful as the inverse offrexp
, if used by itself it is more clear to simply use the expressionx1 * 2**x2
.Examples
>>> np.ldexp(5, np.arange(4)) array([ 5., 10., 20., 40.], dtype=float32)
>>> x = np.arange(6) >>> np.ldexp(*np.frexp(x)) array([ 0., 1., 2., 3., 4., 5.])
