numpy.multiply¶

numpy.multiply(x1, x2[, out]) = <ufunc 'multiply'>¶

Multiply arguments element-wise.

Parameters:

Parameters:	x1, x2 : array_like Input arrays to be multiplied.
Returns:	y : ndarray The product of x1 and x2, element-wise. Returns a scalar if both x1 and x2 are scalars.

x1, x2 : array_like

Input arrays to be multiplied.

Returns:

y : ndarray

The product of x1 and x2, element-wise. Returns a scalar if both x1 and x2 are scalars.

Notes

Equivalent to x1 * x2 in terms of array broadcasting.

Examples

>>> np.multiply(2.0, 4.0)
8.0

>>> x1 = np.arange(9.0).reshape((3, 3))
>>> x2 = np.arange(3.0)
>>> np.multiply(x1, x2)
array([[  0.,   1.,   4.],
       [  0.,   4.,  10.],
       [  0.,   7.,  16.]])
