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([ 83,  86,  60, 111], 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([[ 60,  75, 204],
      [162,   2,  22]], order=3^5)
  
  In [5]: x.shape
  Out[5]: (2, 3)
  
  In [6]: x = GF.Random([2, 3, 4]); x
  Out[6]: 
  GF([[[110, 226, 107,  52],
       [ 68, 153, 204,  90],
       [144,  84,  32,  30]],
  
      [[133, 181, 143, 154],
       [ 37, 139, 206, 224],
       [241, 155,  99, 166]]], order=3^5)
  
  In [7]: x.shape
  Out[7]: (2, 3, 4)
  
  In [8]: x = GF.Random(()); x
  Out[8]: GF(110, order=3^5)
  
  In [9]: x.shape
  Out[9]: ()
