NumPy | add method
Start your free 7-days trial now!
Numpy's add(~)
method takes in two array and performs an element-wise addition.
Opt for direct addition (i.e. arr_one + arr_two
) instead
Unless you need the second and third parameters of the method, opt to directly use +
operator instead for a performance boost.
Parameters
1. x1
| array-like
The first input array.
2. x2
| array-like
The second input array.
3. out
| Numpy array
| optional
Instead of creating a new array, you can place the computed result into the array specified by out
.
4. where
| array
of boolean
| optional
Values that are flagged as False will be ignored, that is, their original value will be uninitialized. If you specified the out parameter, the behavior is slightly different - the original value will be kept intact.
Return value
A scalar is returned if a
is a scalar, otherwise a Numpy array is returned.
Examples
Basic usage
a = np.array([1,2,3])b = np.array([4,5,6])np.add(a,b)
array([5, 7, 9])
