{{alias}}( arrays ) Broadcasts ndarrays to a common shape. If a provided ndarray has a shape matching the common shape, the function returns the provided ndarray. If a provided ndarray has a different (broadcast compatible) shape than the common shape, the function returns a new (base) ndarray view of the provided ndarray's data. The view is 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. A returned array view is a "base" ndarray, and, thus, a returned array view does 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 a provided broadcast-incompatible ndarrays. Parameters ---------- arrays: ArrayLikeObject List of ndarrays. Returns ------- out: Array Broadcasted arrays. Examples -------- > var x = {{alias:@stdlib/ndarray/array}}( [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ] ) [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ] > var y = {{alias:@stdlib/ndarray/zeros}}( [ 3, 2, 2 ] ) [ [ [0,0], [0,0] ], [ [0,0], [0,0] ], [ [0,0], [0,0] ] ] > var out = {{alias}}( [ x, y ] ) [ , ] // Retrieve the broadcasted "x" array: > var bx = out[ 0 ] [ [ [1,2], [3,4] ], [ [1,2], [3,4] ], [ [1,2], [3,4] ] ] See Also --------
