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([224,  94, 126,  73], 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([[ 24,  58, 216],
      [ 53, 129, 172]], order=3^5)
  
  In [5]: x.shape
  Out[5]: (2, 3)
  
  In [6]: x = GF.Random([2, 3, 4]); x
  Out[6]: 
  GF([[[ 55, 187, 155, 233],
       [240, 120,  58,  38],
       [ 93, 153, 197,   5]],
  
      [[  2,  83, 168,  54],
       [ 91,  19, 197, 197],
       [173, 175, 239,  99]]], order=3^5)
  
  In [7]: x.shape
  Out[7]: (2, 3, 4)
  
  In [8]: x = GF.Random(()); x
  Out[8]: GF(34, order=3^5)
  
  In [9]: x.shape
  Out[9]: ()
