A Union representing objects that can be coerced into a NumPy shape tuple.

Union¶

• int: The size of a 1-D array.

  In [1]: GF = galois.GF(3**5)
  
  In [2]: x = GF.Random(4); x
  Out[2]: GF([ 16, 211, 221,  93], order=3^5)
  
  In [3]: x.shape
  Out[3]: (4,)
  

• Sequence [ int ]: An iterable of integer dimensions. Tuples or lists are allowed. An empty iterable, () or [], represents a 0-D array (scalar).

  In [4]: x = GF.Random((2, 3)); x
  Out[4]: 
  GF([[234,  10,  54],
      [123,  24,  35]], order=3^5)
  
  In [5]: x.shape
  Out[5]: (2, 3)
  
  In [6]: x = GF.Random([2, 3, 4]); x
  Out[6]: 
  GF([[[160, 144,  73,  48],
       [ 12, 235,  37, 201],
       [ 42,  54, 114,  83]],
  
      [[205,  83, 182, 203],
       [ 34, 216, 145, 131],
       [140, 212, 141, 123]]], order=3^5)
  
  In [7]: x.shape
  Out[7]: (2, 3, 4)
  
  In [8]: x = GF.Random(()); x
  Out[8]: GF(127, order=3^5)
  
  In [9]: x.shape
  Out[9]: ()
