multiply
(x1, x2, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj]) = <ufunc 'multiply'>¶ Multiply arguments element-wise.
Parameters: x1, x2 : array_like
Input arrays to be multiplied.
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
The product of x1 and x2, element-wise. Returns a scalar if both x1 and x2 are scalars.
Notes
Equivalent to x1 * x2 in terms of array broadcasting.
Examples
>>> np.multiply(2.0, 4.0) 8.0
>>> x1 = np.arange(9.0).reshape((3, 3)) >>> x2 = np.arange(3.0) >>> np.multiply(x1, x2) array([[ 0., 1., 4.], [ 0., 4., 10.], [ 0., 7., 16.]])
