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([187, 182,  64, 217], 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([[156, 236,  78],
      [ 10,  32, 121]], order=3^5)
  
  In [5]: x.shape
  Out[5]: (2, 3)
  
  In [6]: x = GF.Random([2, 3, 4]); x
  Out[6]: 
  GF([[[ 70,  39, 102, 203],
       [190, 111,  32,  40],
       [139, 172,  76,  85]],
  
      [[128, 199,  47, 130],
       [ 20,  19, 207, 231],
       [ 74,  19,  60, 197]]], order=3^5)
  
  In [7]: x.shape
  Out[7]: (2, 3, 4)
  
  In [8]: x = GF.Random(()); x
  Out[8]: GF(151, order=3^5)
  
  In [9]: x.shape
  Out[9]: ()
