nums.numpy.copysign

nums.numpy.copysign(x1, x2, out=None, where=True, **kwargs)[source]

Change the sign of x1 to that of x2, element-wise.

This docstring was copied from numpy.copysign.

Some inconsistencies with the NumS version may exist.

If x2 is a scalar, its sign will be copied to all elements of x1.

Parameters

x1 (BlockArray) – Values to change the sign of.
x2 (BlockArray) – The sign of x2 is copied to x1. If x1.shape != x2.shape, they must be broadcastable to a common shape (which becomes the shape of the output).
out (BlockArray, None, or 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 (BlockArray, 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 ufunc docs.

Returns

out – The values of x1 with the sign of x2.

Return type

BlockArray

Examples

The doctests shown below are copied from NumPy. They won’t show the correct result until you operate get().

>>> nps.copysign(nps.array(1.3), nps.array(-1)).get()  
array(-1.3)
>>> (1/nps.copysign(nps.array(0), nps.array(1))).get()  
array(inf)
>>> (1/nps.copysign(nps.array(0), nps.array(-1))).get()  
array(-inf)
