Fonction reciprocal - module numpy

Signature de la fonction reciprocal

Description

reciprocal.__doc__

reciprocal(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj])

Return the reciprocal of the argument, element-wise.

Calculates ``1/x``.

Parameters
----------
x : array_like
    Input array.
out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional
    A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have
    a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None,
    a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a
    keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.
where : array_like, optional
    This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the
    condition is True, the `out` array will be set to the ufunc result.
    Elsewhere, the `out` array will retain its original value.
    Note that if an uninitialized `out` array is created via the default
    ``out=None``, locations within it where the condition is False will
    remain uninitialized.
**kwargs
    For other keyword-only arguments, see the
    :ref:`ufunc docs <ufuncs.kwargs>`.

Returns
-------
y : ndarray
    Return array.
    This is a scalar if `x` is a scalar.

Notes
-----
.. note::
    This function is not designed to work with integers.

For integer arguments with absolute value larger than 1 the result is
always zero because of the way Python handles integer division.  For
integer zero the result is an overflow.

Examples
--------
>>> np.reciprocal(2.)
0.5
>>> np.reciprocal([1, 2., 3.33])
array([ 1.       ,  0.5      ,  0.3003003])
