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([209,  40, 134,  46], 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([[ 37, 138, 126],
      [238,  19,  82]], order=3^5)
  
  In [5]: x.shape
  Out[5]: (2, 3)
  
  In [6]: x = GF.Random([2, 3, 4]); x
  Out[6]: 
  GF([[[ 76,  43, 224,  13],
       [ 69, 169,  10, 145],
       [ 38, 217,  34, 161]],
  
      [[218,  24, 220, 160],
       [ 72, 128, 124,  46],
       [ 87, 148, 121, 170]]], order=3^5)
  
  In [7]: x.shape
  Out[7]: (2, 3, 4)
  
  In [8]: x = GF.Random(()); x
  Out[8]: GF(242, order=3^5)
  
  In [9]: x.shape
  Out[9]: ()
