    Flat iterator object to iterate over arrays.

A `flatiter` iterator is returned by ``x.flat`` for any array `x`.
    It allows iterating over the array as if it were a 1-D array,
    either in a for-loop or by calling its `next` method.

Iteration is done in row-major, C-style order (the last
    index varying the fastest). The iterator can also be indexed using
    basic slicing or advanced indexing.

    --------
    ndarray.flat : Return a flat iterator over an array.
    ndarray.flatten : Returns a flattened copy of an array.

Notes
    -----
    A `flatiter` iterator can not be constructed directly from Python code
    by calling the `flatiter` constructor.

Examples
    --------
    >>> x = np.arange(6).reshape(2, 3)
    >>> fl = x.flat
    >>> type(fl)
    <type 'numpy.flatiter'>
    >>> for item in fl:
    ...     print(item)

    Efficient multi-dimensional iterator object to iterate over arrays.
    To get started using this object, see the
    :ref:`introductory guide to array iteration <arrays.nditer>`.

Parameters
    ----------
    op : ndarray or sequence of array_like
        The array(s) to iterate over.
    flags : sequence of str, optional
        Flags to control the behavior of the iterator.

* "buffered" enables buffering when required.
          * "c_index" causes a C-order index to be tracked.
          * "f_index" causes a Fortran-order index to be tracked.
          * "multi_index" causes a multi-index, or a tuple of indices
            with one per iteration dimension, to be tracked.
          * "common_dtype" causes all the operands to be converted to
            a common data type, with copying or buffering as necessary.
          * "copy_if_overlap" causes the iterator to determine if read
            operands have overlap with write operands, and make temporary
            copies as necessary to avoid overlap. False positives (needless
            copying) are possible in some cases.
          * "delay_bufalloc" delays allocation of the buffers until
            a reset() call is made. Allows "allocate" operands to
            be initialized before their values are copied into the buffers.
          * "external_loop" causes the `values` given to be
            one-dimensional arrays with multiple values instead of
            zero-dimensional arrays.
          * "grow_inner" allows the `value` array sizes to be made
            larger than the buffer size when both "buffered" and
            "external_loop" is used.
          * "ranged" allows the iterator to be restricted to a sub-range
            of the iterindex values.
          * "refs_ok" enables iteration of reference types, such as
            object arrays.
          * "reduce_ok" enables iteration of "readwrite" operands
            which are broadcasted, also known as reduction operands.
          * "zerosize_ok" allows `itersize` to be zero.
    op_flags : list of list of str, optional
        This is a list of flags for each operand. At minimum, one of
        "readonly", "readwrite", or "writeonly" must be specified.

* "readonly" indicates the operand will only be read from.
          * "readwrite" indicates the operand will be read from and written to.
          * "writeonly" indicates the operand will only be written to.
          * "no_broadcast" prevents the operand from being broadcasted.
          * "contig" forces the operand data to be contiguous.
          * "aligned" forces the operand data to be aligned.
          * "nbo" forces the operand data to be in native byte order.
          * "copy" allows a temporary read-only copy if required.
          * "updateifcopy" allows a temporary read-write copy if required.
          * "allocate" causes the array to be allocated if it is None
            in the `op` parameter.
          * "no_subtype" prevents an "allocate" operand from using a subtype.
          * "arraymask" indicates that this operand is the mask to use
            for selecting elements when writing to operands with the
            'writemasked' flag set. The iterator does not enforce this,
            but when writing from a buffer back to the array, it only
            copies those elements indicated by this mask.
          * 'writemasked' indicates that only elements where the chosen
            'arraymask' operand is True will be written to.
          * "overlap_assume_elementwise" can be used to mark operands that are
            accessed only in the iterator order, to allow less conservative
            copying when "copy_if_overlap" is present.
    op_dtypes : dtype or tuple of dtype(s), optional
        The required data type(s) of the operands. If copying or buffering
        is enabled, the data will be converted to/from their original types.
    order : {'C', 'F', 'A', 'K'}, optional
        Controls the iteration order. 'C' means C order, 'F' means
        Fortran order, 'A' means 'F' order if all the arrays are Fortran
        contiguous, 'C' order otherwise, and 'K' means as close to the
        order the array elements appear in memory as possible. This also
        affects the element memory order of "allocate" operands, as they
        are allocated to be compatible with iteration order.
        Default is 'K'.
    casting : {'no', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same_kind', 'unsafe'}, optional
        Controls what kind of data casting may occur when making a copy
        or buffering.  Setting this to 'unsafe' is not recommended,
        as it can adversely affect accumulations.

* 'no' means the data types should not be cast at all.
          * 'equiv' means only byte-order changes are allowed.
          * 'safe' means only casts which can preserve values are allowed.
          * 'same_kind' means only safe casts or casts within a kind,
            like float64 to float32, are allowed.
          * 'unsafe' means any data conversions may be done.
    op_axes : list of list of ints, optional
        If provided, is a list of ints or None for each operands.
        The list of axes for an operand is a mapping from the dimensions
        of the iterator to the dimensions of the operand. A value of
        -1 can be placed for entries, causing that dimension to be
        treated as "newaxis".
    itershape : tuple of ints, optional
        The desired shape of the iterator. This allows "allocate" operands
        with a dimension mapped by op_axes not corresponding to a dimension
        of a different operand to get a value not equal to 1 for that
        dimension.
    buffersize : int, optional
        When buffering is enabled, controls the size of the temporary
        buffers. Set to 0 for the default value.

Attributes
    ----------
    dtypes : tuple of dtype(s)
        The data types of the values provided in `value`. This may be
        different from the operand data types if buffering is enabled.
    finished : bool
        Whether the iteration over the operands is finished or not.
    has_delayed_bufalloc : bool
        If True, the iterator was created with the "delay_bufalloc" flag,
        and no reset() function was called on it yet.
    has_index : bool
        If True, the iterator was created with either the "c_index" or
        the "f_index" flag, and the property `index` can be used to
        retrieve it.
    has_multi_index : bool
        If True, the iterator was created with the "multi_index" flag,
        and the property `multi_index` can be used to retrieve it.
    index
        When the "c_index" or "f_index" flag was used, this property
        provides access to the index. Raises a ValueError if accessed
        and `has_index` is False.
    iterationneedsapi : bool
        Whether iteration requires access to the Python API, for example
        if one of the operands is an object array.
    iterindex : int
        An index which matches the order of iteration.
    itersize : int
        Size of the iterator.
    itviews
        Structured view(s) of `operands` in memory, matching the reordered
        and optimized iterator access pattern.
    multi_index
        When the "multi_index" flag was used, this property
        provides access to the index. Raises a ValueError if accessed
        accessed and `has_multi_index` is False.
    ndim : int
        The iterator's dimension.
    nop : int
        The number of iterator operands.
    operands : tuple of operand(s)
        The array(s) to be iterated over.
    shape : tuple of ints
        Shape tuple, the shape of the iterator.
    value
        Value of `operands` at current iteration. Normally, this is a
        tuple of array scalars, but if the flag "external_loop" is used,
        it is a tuple of one dimensional arrays.

Notes
    -----
    `nditer` supersedes `flatiter`.  The iterator implementation behind
    `nditer` is also exposed by the NumPy C API.

The Python exposure supplies two iteration interfaces, one which follows
    the Python iterator protocol, and another which mirrors the C-style
    do-while pattern.  The native Python approach is better in most cases, but
    if you need the iterator's coordinates or index, use the C-style pattern.

Examples
    --------
    Here is how we might write an ``iter_add`` function, using the
    Python iterator protocol::

def iter_add_py(x, y, out=None):
            addop = np.add
            it = np.nditer([x, y, out], [],
                        [['readonly'], ['readonly'], ['writeonly','allocate']])
            for (a, b, c) in it:
                addop(a, b, out=c)
            return it.operands[2]

Here is the same function, but following the C-style pattern::

def iter_add(x, y, out=None):
            addop = np.add

it = np.nditer([x, y, out], [],
                        [['readonly'], ['readonly'], ['writeonly','allocate']])

while not it.finished:
                addop(it[0], it[1], out=it[2])
                it.iternext()

return it.operands[2]

Here is an example outer product function::

def outer_it(x, y, out=None):
            mulop = np.multiply

it = np.nditer([x, y, out], ['external_loop'],
                    [['readonly'], ['readonly'], ['writeonly', 'allocate']],
                    op_axes=[range(x.ndim)+[-1]*y.ndim,
                             [-1]*x.ndim+range(y.ndim),
                             None])

for (a, b, c) in it:
                mulop(a, b, out=c)

return it.operands[2]

>>> a = np.arange(2)+1
        >>> b = np.arange(3)+1
        >>> outer_it(a,b)
        array([[1, 2, 3],
               [2, 4, 6]])

Here is an example function which operates like a "lambda" ufunc::

def luf(lamdaexpr, *args, **kwargs):
            "luf(lambdaexpr, op1, ..., opn, out=None, order='K', casting='safe', buffersize=0)"
            nargs = len(args)
            op = (kwargs.get('out',None),) + args
            it = np.nditer(op, ['buffered','external_loop'],
                    [['writeonly','allocate','no_broadcast']] +
                                    [['readonly','nbo','aligned']]*nargs,
                    order=kwargs.get('order','K'),
                    casting=kwargs.get('casting','safe'),
                    buffersize=kwargs.get('buffersize',0))
            while not it.finished:
                it[0] = lamdaexpr(*it[1:])
                it.iternext()
            return it.operands[0]

>>> a = np.arange(5)
        >>> b = np.ones(5)
        >>> luf(lambda i,j:i*i + j/2, a, b)
        array([  0.5,   1.5,   4.5,   9.5,  16.5])

        (`dtype`, `order`, etc.).
    order : {'K', 'A', 'C', 'F'}, optional
        Specify the memory layout of the array. If object is not an array, the
        newly created array will be in C order (row major) unless 'F' is
        specified, in which case it will be in Fortran order (column major).
        If object is an array the following holds.

===== ========= ===================================================
        order  no copy                     copy=True
        ===== ========= ===================================================
        'K'   unchanged F & C order preserved, otherwise most similar order
        'A'   unchanged F order if input is F and not C, otherwise C order
        'C'   C order   C order
        'F'   F order   F order
        ===== ========= ===================================================

When ``copy=False`` and a copy is made for other reasons, the result is
        the same as if ``copy=True``, with some exceptions for `A`, see the
        Notes section. The default order is 'K'.
    subok : bool, optional
        If True, then sub-classes will be passed-through, otherwise
        the returned array will be forced to be a base-class array (default).
    ndmin : int, optional
        Specifies the minimum number of dimensions that the resulting
        array should have.  Ones will be pre-pended to the shape as
        needed to meet this requirement.

Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        An array object satisfying the specified requirements.

See Also
    --------
    empty, empty_like, zeros, zeros_like, ones, ones_like, full, full_like

Notes
    -----
    When order is 'A' and `object` is an array in neither 'C' nor 'F' order,
    and a copy is forced by a change in dtype, then the order of the result is
    not necessarily 'C' as expected. This is likely a bug.

Examples
    --------
    >>> np.array([1, 2, 3])
    array([1, 2, 3])

Upcasting:

>>> np.array([1, 2, 3.0])
    array([ 1.,  2.,  3.])

More than one dimension:

>>> np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
    array([[1, 2],
           [3, 4]])

Minimum dimensions 2:

>>> np.array([1, 2, 3], ndmin=2)
    array([[1, 2, 3]])

Type provided:

>>> np.array([1, 2, 3], dtype=complex)
    array([ 1.+0.j,  2.+0.j,  3.+0.j])

Notes
    -----

Construct an array from data in a text or binary file.

A highly efficient way of reading binary data with a known data-type,

    `tofile` method can be read using this function.

Parameters
    ----------
    file : file or str
        Open file object or filename.
    dtype : data-type
        Data type of the returned array.
        For binary files, it is used to determine the size and byte-order
        of the items in the file.
    count : int
        Number of items to read. ``-1`` means all items (i.e., the complete
        file).
    sep : str
        Separator between items if file is a text file.
        Empty ("") separator means the file should be treated as binary.
        Spaces (" ") in the separator match zero or more whitespace characters.
        A separator consisting only of spaces must match at least one
        whitespace.

Notes
    -----
    Do not rely on the combination of `tofile` and `fromfile` for
    data storage, as the binary files generated are are not platform
    independent.  In particular, no byte-order or data-type information is
    saved.  Data can be stored in the platform independent ``.npy`` format
    using `save` and `load` instead.

Examples
    --------
    Construct an ndarray:

>>> dt = np.dtype([('time', [('min', int), ('sec', int)]),
    ...                ('temp', float)])
    >>> x = np.zeros((1,), dtype=dt)

    arange([start,] stop[, step,], dtype=None)

Return evenly spaced values within a given interval.

Values are generated within the half-open interval ``[start, stop)``
    (in other words, the interval including `start` but excluding `stop`).
    For integer arguments the function is equivalent to the Python built-in
    `range <http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html>`_ function,
    but returns an ndarray rather than a list.

When using a non-integer step, such as 0.1, the results will often not
    be consistent.  It is better to use ``linspace`` for these cases.

Parameters
    ----------
    start : number, optional
        Start of interval.  The interval includes this value.  The default
        start value is 0.
    stop : number
        End of interval.  The interval does not include this value, except
        in some cases where `step` is not an integer and floating point
        round-off affects the length of `out`.
    step : number, optional
        Spacing between values.  For any output `out`, this is the distance
        between two adjacent values, ``out[i+1] - out[i]``.  The default
        step size is 1.  If `step` is specified, `start` must also be given.
    dtype : dtype
        The type of the output array.  If `dtype` is not given, infer the data
        type from the other input arguments.

Returns
    -------
    arange : ndarray
        Array of evenly spaced values.

For floating point arguments, the length of the result is
        ``ceil((stop - start)/step)``.  Because of floating point overflow,
        this rule may result in the last element of `out` being greater
        than `stop`.

    """
    lexsort(keys, axis=-1)

Perform an indirect sort using a sequence of keys.

Given multiple sorting keys, which can be interpreted as columns in a
    spreadsheet, lexsort returns an array of integer indices that describes
    the sort order by multiple columns. The last key in the sequence is used
    for the primary sort order, the second-to-last key for the secondary sort
    order, and so on. The keys argument must be a sequence of objects that
    can be converted to arrays of the same shape. If a 2D array is provided
    for the keys argument, it's rows are interpreted as the sorting keys and
    sorting is according to the last row, second last row etc.

Parameters
    ----------
    keys : (k, N) array or tuple containing k (N,)-shaped sequences
        The `k` different "columns" to be sorted.  The last column (or row if
        `keys` is a 2D array) is the primary sort key.
    axis : int, optional
        Axis to be indirectly sorted.  By default, sort over the last axis.

Returns
    -------
    indices : (N,) ndarray of ints
        Array of indices that sort the keys along the specified axis.

See Also
    --------
    argsort : Indirect sort.
    ndarray.sort : In-place sort.
    sort : Return a sorted copy of an array.

Examples
    --------
    Sort names: first by surname, then by name.

>>> surnames =    ('Hertz',    'Galilei', 'Hertz')
    >>> first_names = ('Heinrich', 'Galileo', 'Gustav')
    >>> ind = np.lexsort((first_names, surnames))
    >>> ind
    array([1, 2, 0])

>>> [surnames[i] + ", " + first_names[i] for i in ind]
    ['Galilei, Galileo', 'Hertz, Gustav', 'Hertz, Heinrich']

Sort two columns of numbers:

>>> a = [1,5,1,4,3,4,4] # First column
    >>> b = [9,4,0,4,0,2,1] # Second column
    >>> ind = np.lexsort((b,a)) # Sort by a, then by b
    >>> print(ind)

>>> [(a[i],b[i]) for i in ind]
    [(1, 0), (1, 9), (3, 0), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 4), (5, 4)]

Note that sorting is first according to the elements of ``a``.
    Secondary sorting is according to the elements of ``b``.

A normal ``argsort`` would have yielded:

    [(1, 9), (1, 0), (3, 0), (4, 4), (4, 2), (4, 1), (5, 4)]

    result_type(*arrays_and_dtypes)

Returns the type that results from applying the NumPy
    type promotion rules to the arguments.

Type promotion in NumPy works similarly to the rules in languages
    like C++, with some slight differences.  When both scalars and
    arrays are used, the array's type takes precedence and the actual value
    of the scalar is taken into account.

For example, calculating 3*a, where a is an array of 32-bit floats,
    intuitively should result in a 32-bit float output.  If the 3 is a
    32-bit integer, the NumPy rules indicate it can't convert losslessly
    into a 32-bit float, so a 64-bit float should be the result type.
    By examining the value of the constant, '3', we see that it fits in
    an 8-bit integer, which can be cast losslessly into the 32-bit float.

Parameters
    ----------
    arrays_and_dtypes : list of arrays and dtypes
        The operands of some operation whose result type is needed.

Returns
    -------
    out : dtype
        The result type.

    --------
    dtype, promote_types, min_scalar_type, can_cast

Notes
    -----
    .. versionadded:: 1.6.0

The specific algorithm used is as follows.

Categories are determined by first checking which of boolean,
    integer (int/uint), or floating point (float/complex) the maximum
    kind of all the arrays and the scalars are.

If there are only scalars or the maximum category of the scalars
    is higher than the maximum category of the arrays,
    the data types are combined with :func:`promote_types`
    to produce the return value.

Otherwise, `min_scalar_type` is called on each array, and
    the resulting data types are all combined with :func:`promote_types`
    to produce the return value.

The set of int values is not a subset of the uint values for types
    with the same number of bits, something not reflected in
    :func:`min_scalar_type`, but handled as a special case in `result_type`.

    out : ndarray, optional

add_newdoc('numpy.core', 'matmul',
    """
    matmul(a, b, out=None)

Matrix product of two arrays.

The behavior depends on the arguments in the following way.

- If both arguments are 2-D they are multiplied like conventional
      matrices.
    - If either argument is N-D, N > 2, it is treated as a stack of
      matrices residing in the last two indexes and broadcast accordingly.
    - If the first argument is 1-D, it is promoted to a matrix by
      prepending a 1 to its dimensions. After matrix multiplication
      the prepended 1 is removed.
    - If the second argument is 1-D, it is promoted to a matrix by
      appending a 1 to its dimensions. After matrix multiplication
      the appended 1 is removed.

Multiplication by a scalar is not allowed, use ``*`` instead. Note that
    multiplying a stack of matrices with a vector will result in a stack of
    vectors, but matmul will not recognize it as such.

``matmul`` differs from ``dot`` in two important ways.

- Multiplication by scalars is not allowed.
    - Stacks of matrices are broadcast together as if the matrices
      were elements.

       This function is preliminary and included in NumPy 1.10.0 for testing
       and documentation. Its semantics will not change, but the number and
       order of the optional arguments will.

.. versionadded:: 1.10.0

Returns
    -------
    output : ndarray
        Returns the dot product of `a` and `b`.  If `a` and `b` are both
        1-D arrays then a scalar is returned; otherwise an array is
        returned.  If `out` is given, then it is returned.

Raises
    ------
    ValueError
        If the last dimension of `a` is not the same size as
        the second-to-last dimension of `b`.

Notes
    -----
    The matmul function implements the semantics of the `@` operator introduced
    in Python 3.5 following PEP465.

Examples
    --------
    For 2-D arrays it is the matrix product:

>>> a = [[1, 0], [0, 1]]
    >>> b = [[4, 1], [2, 2]]
    >>> np.matmul(a, b)
    array([[4, 1],
           [2, 2]])

For 2-D mixed with 1-D, the result is the usual.

>>> a = [[1, 0], [0, 1]]
    >>> b = [1, 2]
    >>> np.matmul(a, b)
    array([1, 2])
    >>> np.matmul(b, a)
    array([1, 2])

Broadcasting is conventional for stacks of arrays

>>> a = np.arange(2*2*4).reshape((2,2,4))
    >>> b = np.arange(2*2*4).reshape((2,4,2))

    order : {'C', 'F', 'A', 'K'}, optional
        Controls the memory layout of the output. 'C' means it should
        be C contiguous. 'F' means it should be Fortran contiguous,
        'A' means it should be 'F' if the inputs are all 'F', 'C' otherwise.
        'K' means it should be as close to the layout as the inputs as
        is possible, including arbitrarily permuted axes.
        Default is 'K'.
    casting : {'no', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same_kind', 'unsafe'}, optional
        Controls what kind of data casting may occur.  Setting this to
        'unsafe' is not recommended, as it can adversely affect accumulations.

Default is 'safe'.

Returns
    -------
    output : ndarray
        The calculation based on the Einstein summation convention.

Notes

    .. versionadded:: 1.6.0

The subscripts string is a comma-separated list of subscript labels,
    where each label refers to a dimension of the corresponding operand.
    Repeated subscripts labels in one operand take the diagonal.  For example,
    ``np.einsum('ii', a)`` is equivalent to ``np.trace(a)``.

Whenever a label is repeated, it is summed, so ``np.einsum('i,i', a, b)``
    is equivalent to ``np.inner(a,b)``.  If a label appears only once,
    it is not summed, so ``np.einsum('i', a)`` produces a view of ``a``
    with no changes.

The order of labels in the output is by default alphabetical.  This
    means that ``np.einsum('ij', a)`` doesn't affect a 2D array, while
    ``np.einsum('ji', a)`` takes its transpose.

The output can be controlled by specifying output subscript labels
    as well.  This specifies the label order, and allows summing to
    be disallowed or forced when desired.  The call ``np.einsum('i->', a)``
    is like ``np.sum(a, axis=-1)``, and ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)``
    is like ``np.diag(a)``.  The difference is that `einsum` does not
    allow broadcasting by default.

To enable and control broadcasting, use an ellipsis.  Default
    NumPy-style broadcasting is done by adding an ellipsis
    to the left of each term, like ``np.einsum('...ii->...i', a)``.
    To take the trace along the first and last axes,
    you can do ``np.einsum('i...i', a)``, or to do a matrix-matrix
    product with the left-most indices instead of rightmost, you can do
    ``np.einsum('ij...,jk...->ik...', a, b)``.

When there is only one operand, no axes are summed, and no output
    parameter is provided, a view into the operand is returned instead
    of a new array.  Thus, taking the diagonal as ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)``
    produces a view.

An alternative way to provide the subscripts and operands is as
    ``einsum(op0, sublist0, op1, sublist1, ..., [sublistout])``. The examples
    below have corresponding `einsum` calls with the two parameter methods.

.. versionadded:: 1.10.0

Views returned from einsum are now writeable whenever the input array
    is writeable. For example, ``np.einsum('ijk...->kji...', a)`` will now
    have the same effect as ``np.swapaxes(a, 0, 2)`` and
    ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)`` will return a writeable view of the diagonal
    of a 2D array.

    vdot(a, b)

Return the dot product of two vectors.

The vdot(`a`, `b`) function handles complex numbers differently than
    dot(`a`, `b`).  If the first argument is complex the complex conjugate
    of the first argument is used for the calculation of the dot product.

Note that `vdot` handles multidimensional arrays differently than `dot`:
    it does *not* perform a matrix product, but flattens input arguments
    to 1-D vectors first. Consequently, it should only be used for vectors.

Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        If `a` is complex the complex conjugate is taken before calculation
        of the dot product.
    b : array_like
        Second argument to the dot product.

Returns
    -------
    output : ndarray
        Dot product of `a` and `b`.  Can be an int, float, or
        complex depending on the types of `a` and `b`.

See Also
    --------
    dot : Return the dot product without using the complex conjugate of the
          first argument.

Examples
    --------
    >>> a = np.array([1+2j,3+4j])

    ndarray(shape, dtype=float, buffer=None, offset=0,
            strides=None, order=None)

An array object represents a multidimensional, homogeneous array
    of fixed-size items.  An associated data-type object describes the
    format of each element in the array (its byte-order, how many bytes it
    occupies in memory, whether it is an integer, a floating point number,
    or something else, etc.)

Arrays should be constructed using `array`, `zeros` or `empty` (refer
    to the See Also section below).  The parameters given here refer to
    a low-level method (`ndarray(...)`) for instantiating an array.

For more information, refer to the `numpy` module and examine the
    methods and attributes of an array.

Parameters
    ----------
    (for the __new__ method; see Notes below)

shape : tuple of ints
        Shape of created array.
    dtype : data-type, optional
        Any object that can be interpreted as a numpy data type.
    buffer : object exposing buffer interface, optional
        Used to fill the array with data.
    offset : int, optional
        Offset of array data in buffer.
    strides : tuple of ints, optional
        Strides of data in memory.
    order : {'C', 'F'}, optional
        Row-major (C-style) or column-major (Fortran-style) order.

Attributes
    ----------
    T : ndarray
        Transpose of the array.
    data : buffer
        The array's elements, in memory.
    dtype : dtype object
        Describes the format of the elements in the array.
    flags : dict
        Dictionary containing information related to memory use, e.g.,
        'C_CONTIGUOUS', 'OWNDATA', 'WRITEABLE', etc.
    flat : numpy.flatiter object
        Flattened version of the array as an iterator.  The iterator
        allows assignments, e.g., ``x.flat = 3`` (See `ndarray.flat` for
        assignment examples; TODO).
    imag : ndarray
        Imaginary part of the array.
    real : ndarray
        Real part of the array.
    size : int
        Number of elements in the array.
    itemsize : int
        The memory use of each array element in bytes.
    nbytes : int
        The total number of bytes required to store the array data,
        i.e., ``itemsize * size``.
    ndim : int
        The array's number of dimensions.
    shape : tuple of ints
        Shape of the array.
    strides : tuple of ints
        The step-size required to move from one element to the next in
        memory. For example, a contiguous ``(3, 4)`` array of type
        ``int16`` in C-order has strides ``(8, 2)``.  This implies that
        to move from element to element in memory requires jumps of 2 bytes.
        To move from row-to-row, one needs to jump 8 bytes at a time
        (``2 * 4``).
    ctypes : ctypes object
        Class containing properties of the array needed for interaction
        with ctypes.
    base : ndarray
        If the array is a view into another array, that array is its `base`
        (unless that array is also a view).  The `base` array is where the
        array data is actually stored.

See Also
    --------
    array : Construct an array.
    zeros : Create an array, each element of which is zero.
    empty : Create an array, but leave its allocated memory unchanged (i.e.,
            it contains "garbage").
    dtype : Create a data-type.

Notes
    -----
    There are two modes of creating an array using ``__new__``:

1. If `buffer` is None, then only `shape`, `dtype`, and `order`
       are used.
    2. If `buffer` is an object exposing the buffer interface, then
       all keywords are interpreted.

No ``__init__`` method is needed because the array is fully initialized
    after the ``__new__`` method.

Examples
    --------
    These examples illustrate the low-level `ndarray` constructor.  Refer
    to the `See Also` section above for easier ways of constructing an
    ndarray.

First mode, `buffer` is None:

>>> np.ndarray(shape=(2,2), dtype=float, order='F')
    array([[ -1.13698227e+002,   4.25087011e-303],
           [  2.88528414e-306,   3.27025015e-309]])         #random

Second mode:

>>> np.ndarray((2,), buffer=np.array([1,2,3]),
    ...            offset=np.int_().itemsize,
    ...            dtype=int) # offset = 1*itemsize, i.e. skip first element
    array([2, 3])

This attribute creates an object that makes it easier to use arrays

    None

Returns

    c : Python object

See Also

    numpy.ctypeslib

Notes
    -----
    Below are the public attributes of this object which were documented
    in "Guide to NumPy" (we have omitted undocumented public attributes,
    as well as documented private attributes):

* data: A pointer to the memory area of the array as a Python integer.
      This memory area may contain data that is not aligned, or not in correct
      byte-order. The memory area may not even be writeable. The array
      flags and data-type of this array should be respected when passing this
      attribute to arbitrary C-code to avoid trouble that can include Python
      crashing. User Beware! The value of this attribute is exactly the same
      as self._array_interface_['data'][0].

* shape (c_intp*self.ndim): A ctypes array of length self.ndim where
      the basetype is the C-integer corresponding to dtype('p') on this
      platform. This base-type could be c_int, c_long, or c_longlong
      depending on the platform. The c_intp type is defined accordingly in
      numpy.ctypeslib. The ctypes array contains the shape of the underlying
      array.

* strides (c_intp*self.ndim): A ctypes array of length self.ndim where
      the basetype is the same as for the shape attribute. This ctypes array
      contains the strides information from the underlying array. This strides
      information is important for showing how many bytes must be jumped to
      get to the next element in the array.

* data_as(obj): Return the data pointer cast to a particular c-types object.
      For example, calling self._as_parameter_ is equivalent to
      self.data_as(ctypes.c_void_p). Perhaps you want to use the data as a
      pointer to a ctypes array of floating-point data:
      self.data_as(ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_double)).

* shape_as(obj): Return the shape tuple as an array of some other c-types
      type. For example: self.shape_as(ctypes.c_short).

* strides_as(obj): Return the strides tuple as an array of some other
      c-types type. For example: self.strides_as(ctypes.c_longlong).

Be careful using the ctypes attribute - especially on temporary
    arrays or arrays constructed on the fly. For example, calling
    ``(a+b).ctypes.data_as(ctypes.c_void_p)`` returns a pointer to memory
    that is invalid because the array created as (a+b) is deallocated
    before the next Python statement. You can avoid this problem using
    either ``c=a+b`` or ``ct=(a+b).ctypes``. In the latter case, ct will
    hold a reference to the array until ct is deleted or re-assigned.

If the ctypes module is not available, then the ctypes attribute
    of array objects still returns something useful, but ctypes objects
    are not returned and errors may be raised instead. In particular,
    the object will still have the as parameter attribute which will
    return an integer equal to the data attribute.

Examples
    --------
    >>> import ctypes
    >>> x
    array([[0, 1],
           [2, 3]])
    >>> x.ctypes.data
    30439712
    >>> x.ctypes.data_as(ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_long))

Parameters
    ----------
    None

Returns
    -------
    d : numpy dtype object

See also
    --------
    result_type

Examples
    --------
    Using array-scalar type:

>>> np.dtype(np.int16)
    dtype('int16')

Structured type, one field name 'f1', containing int16:

>>> np.dtype([('f1', np.int16)])
    dtype([('f1', '<i2')])

Structured type, one field named 'f1', in itself containing a structured
    type with one field:

>>> np.dtype([('f1', [('f1', np.int16)])])
    dtype([('f1', [('f1', '<i2')])])

Structured type, two fields: the first field contains an unsigned int, the
    second an int32:

>>> np.dtype([('f1', np.uint), ('f2', np.int32)])
    dtype([('f1', '<u4'), ('f2', '<i4')])

Using array-protocol type strings:

>>> np.dtype([('a','f8'),('b','S10')])
    dtype([('a', '<f8'), ('b', '|S10')])

Using comma-separated field formats.  The shape is (2,3):

>>> np.dtype("i4, (2,3)f8")
    dtype([('f0', '<i4'), ('f1', '<f8', (2, 3))])

Using tuples.  ``int`` is a fixed type, 3 the field's shape.  ``void``
    is a flexible type, here of size 10:

>>> np.dtype([('hello',(np.int,3)),('world',np.void,10)])
    dtype([('hello', '<i4', 3), ('world', '|V10')])

Subdivide ``int16`` into 2 ``int8``'s, called x and y.  0 and 1 are
    the offsets in bytes:

>>> np.dtype((np.int16, {'x':(np.int8,0), 'y':(np.int8,1)}))
    dtype(('<i2', [('x', '|i1'), ('y', '|i1')]))

Using dictionaries.  Two fields named 'gender' and 'age':

>>> np.dtype({'names':['gender','age'], 'formats':['S1',np.uint8]})

    busdaycalendar(weekmask='1111100', holidays=None)

A business day calendar object that efficiently stores information
    defining valid days for the busday family of functions.

The default valid days are Monday through Friday ("business days").
    A busdaycalendar object can be specified with any set of weekly
    valid days, plus an optional "holiday" dates that always will be invalid.

Once a busdaycalendar object is created, the weekmask and holidays
    cannot be modified.

Parameters
    ----------
    weekmask : str or array_like of bool, optional
        A seven-element array indicating which of Monday through Sunday are
        valid days. May be specified as a length-seven list or array, like
        [1,1,1,1,1,0,0]; a length-seven string, like '1111100'; or a string
        like "Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri", made up of 3-character abbreviations for
        weekdays, optionally separated by white space. Valid abbreviations

    `nd_grid` instance which returns a dense multi-dimensional "meshgrid".

An instance of `numpy.lib.index_tricks.nd_grid` which returns an dense
    (or fleshed out) mesh-grid when indexed, so that each returned argument
    has the same shape.  The dimensions and number of the output arrays are
    equal to the number of indexing dimensions.  If the step length is not a
    complex number, then the stop is not inclusive.

However, if the step length is a **complex number** (e.g. 5j), then
    the integer part of its magnitude is interpreted as specifying the
    number of points to create between the start and stop values, where
    the stop value **is inclusive**.

Returns
    ----------
    mesh-grid `ndarrays` all of the same dimensions
