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([147,   1, 174, 225], 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([[  6,  81, 217],
      [108,  66,  59]], order=3^5)
  
  In [5]: x.shape
  Out[5]: (2, 3)
  
  In [6]: x = GF.Random([2, 3, 4]); x
  Out[6]: 
  GF([[[ 42,  10, 119,  45],
       [ 57, 152, 130,  43],
       [ 50,  94,  75, 144]],
  
      [[ 58,  25, 153, 155],
       [158,  21,  55,  74],
       [ 18,  24,  69, 226]]], order=3^5)
  
  In [7]: x.shape
  Out[7]: (2, 3, 4)
  
  In [8]: x = GF.Random(()); x
  Out[8]: GF(230, order=3^5)
  
  In [9]: x.shape
  Out[9]: ()
