Arithmetic functions
The common arithmetic operators +
, -
, and *
are implicitly linked to the add, subtract, and multiply universal functions, respectively. This means that when you use one of these operators on a NumPy array, the corresponding universal function will get called. Division involves a slightly more complex process. The three universal functions that have to do with array division are divide()
, true_divide()
, and floor_division()
. Two operators correspond to division: /
and //
.
