{{alias}}( x, shape ) Broadcasts an ndarray to a specified shape. The returned array is a read-only view on the input array data buffer. The view is typically *not* contiguous. As more than one element of a returned view may refer to the same memory location, writing to the input array may affect multiple elements. If you need to write to the input array, copy the input array before broadcasting. The function throws an error if a provided ndarray is incompatible with a provided shape. The function always returns a new ndarray instance even if the input ndarray shape and the desired shape are the same. Parameters ---------- x: ndarray Input array. shape: ArrayLikeObject Desired shape. Returns ------- out: ndarray Broadcasted array. Examples -------- > var x = {{alias:@stdlib/ndarray/array}}( [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ] ) > var sh = x.shape [ 2, 2 ] > var y = {{alias}}( x, [ 3, 2, 2 ] ) > sh = y.shape [ 3, 2, 2 ] > var v = y.get( 0, 0, 0 ) 1 > v = y.get( 0, 0, 1 ) 2 > v = y.get( 0, 1, 0 ) 3 > v = y.get( 0, 1, 1 ) 4 > v = y.get( 1, 0, 0 ) 1 > v = y.get( 1, 1, 0 ) 3 > v = y.get( 2, 0, 0 ) 1 > v = y.get( 2, 1, 1 ) 4 See Also --------
