{{alias}}( arrays ) Broadcasts ndarrays to a common shape. The returned arrays are views on their respective underlying array data buffers. The views are typically **not** contiguous. As more than one element of a returned view may refer to the same memory location, writing to a view may affect multiple elements. If you need to write to a returned array, copy the array before performing operations which may mutate elements. Returned arrays are "base" ndarrays, and, thus, returned arrays do not perform bounds checking or afford any of the guarantees of the non-base ndarray constructor. The primary intent of this function is to broadcast ndarray-like objects within internal implementations and to do so with minimal overhead. The function throws an error if provided broadcast-incompatible ndarrays. The function always returns new ndarray instances even if an input ndarray and the broadcasted shape are the same. Parameters ---------- arrays: ArrayLikeObject List of ndarrays. Returns ------- out: Array Broadcasted arrays. Examples -------- > var x = {{alias:@stdlib/ndarray/array}}( [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ] ) > var sh = x.shape [ 2, 2 ] > var y = {{alias:@stdlib/ndarray/zeros}}( [ 3, 2, 2 ] ) > var out = {{alias}}( [ x, y ] ) [ , ] // Retrieve the broadcasted "x" array: > var bx = out[ 0 ] > sh = bx.shape [ 3, 2, 2 ] // Retrieve broadcasted elements... > var v = bx.get( 0, 0, 0 ) 1 > v = bx.get( 0, 0, 1 ) 2 > v = bx.get( 0, 1, 0 ) 3 > v = bx.get( 0, 1, 1 ) 4 > v = bx.get( 1, 0, 0 ) 1 > v = bx.get( 1, 1, 0 ) 3 > v = bx.get( 2, 0, 0 ) 1 > v = bx.get( 2, 1, 1 ) 4 See Also --------
