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([118, 184, 142, 145], 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([[172,  71, 153],
      [206, 237, 156]], order=3^5)
  
  In [5]: x.shape
  Out[5]: (2, 3)
  
  In [6]: x = GF.Random([2, 3, 4]); x
  Out[6]: 
  GF([[[131,  68,  78, 159],
       [104,  70, 135,  86],
       [171, 107,  12, 122]],
  
      [[123,  40,  77,  68],
       [ 43,  23, 227, 107],
       [  3, 125,  44, 123]]], order=3^5)
  
  In [7]: x.shape
  Out[7]: (2, 3, 4)
  
  In [8]: x = GF.Random(()); x
  Out[8]: GF(177, order=3^5)
  
  In [9]: x.shape
  Out[9]: ()
