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([227, 217, 198,   1], 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([[ 76, 168, 158],
      [160, 124, 159]], order=3^5)
  
  In [5]: x.shape
  Out[5]: (2, 3)
  
  In [6]: x = GF.Random([2, 3, 4]); x
  Out[6]: 
  GF([[[200,  62,  84, 209],
       [ 30,  29,  56, 242],
       [189,  85, 126,  12]],
  
      [[216,  81,  77, 141],
       [154, 124, 125, 189],
       [207,  16, 192, 150]]], order=3^5)
  
  In [7]: x.shape
  Out[7]: (2, 3, 4)
  
  In [8]: x = GF.Random(()); x
  Out[8]: GF(229, order=3^5)
  
  In [9]: x.shape
  Out[9]: ()
