xarray.ufuncs.left_shift#
- xarray.ufuncs.left_shift = <xarray.ufuncs._binary_ufunc object>#
xarray specific variant of
numpy.left_shift()
. Handles xarray objects by dispatching to the appropriate function for the underlying array type.Documentation from numpy:
Shift the bits of an integer to the left.
Bits are shifted to the left by appending x2 0s at the right of x1. Since the internal representation of numbers is in binary format, this operation is equivalent to multiplying x1 by
2**x2
.- Parameters
x1 (array_like of
integer type
) – Input values.x2 (array_like of
integer type
) – Number of zeros to append to x1. Has to be non-negative. Ifx1.shape != x2.shape
, they must be broadcastable to a common shape (which becomes the shape of the output).out (
ndarray
,None
, ortuple
ofndarray
andNone
, 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 ufunc docs.
- Returns
out (array of
integer type
) – Return x1 with bits shifted x2 times to the left. This is a scalar if both x1 and x2 are scalars.

right_shift
Shift the bits of an integer to the right.
binary_repr
Return the binary representation of the input number as a string.
Examples
>>> np.binary_repr(5) '101' >>> np.left_shift(5, 2) 20 >>> np.binary_repr(20) '10100'
>>> np.left_shift(5, [1,2,3]) array([10, 20, 40])
Note that the dtype of the second argument may change the dtype of the result and can lead to unexpected results in some cases (see Casting Rules):
>>> a = np.left_shift(np.uint8(255), np.int64(1)) # Expect 254 >>> print(a, type(a)) # Unexpected result due to upcasting 510 <class 'numpy.int64'> >>> b = np.left_shift(np.uint8(255), np.uint8(1)) >>> print(b, type(b)) 254 <class 'numpy.uint8'>
The
<<
operator can be used as a shorthand fornp.left_shift
on ndarrays.>>> x1 = 5 >>> x2 = np.array([1, 2, 3]) >>> x1 << x2 array([10, 20, 40])
