Core.Array
— MethodArray{T}(undef, dims)
Array{T,N}(undef, dims)
Construct an uninitialized N
-dimensional Array

can either be supplied explicitly, as in Array{T,N}(undef, dims)
, or be determined by the length or number of dims
. dims
may be a tuple or a series of integer arguments corresponding to the lengths in each dimension. If the rank N
is supplied explicitly, then it must match the length or number of dims
. Here undef
is the UndefInitializer
.

Core.DenseArray
— TypeDenseArray{T, N} <: AbstractArray{T,N}
N
-dimensional dense array with elements of type T
. The elements of a dense array are stored contiguously in memory.

One-dimensional DenseArray
with elements of type T
. Alias for DenseArray{T,1}
.
Base.DenseMatrix
— TypeDenseMatrix{T}
Two-dimensional DenseArray

.
Base.DenseVecOrMat
— TypeDenseVecOrMat{T}

and DenseMatrix{T}
.
Base.StridedArray
— TypeStridedArray{T, N}
A hard-coded Union
of common array types that follow the strided array interface, with elements of type T
and N
dimensions.
If A
is a StridedArray
, then its elements are stored in memory with offsets, which may vary between dimensions but are constant within a dimension. For example, A
could have stride 2 in dimension 1, and stride 3 in dimension 2. Incrementing A
along dimension d
jumps in memory by [stride(A, d)
] slots. Strided arrays are particularly important and useful because they can sometimes be passed directly as pointers to foreign language libraries like BLAS.
Base.StridedVector
— TypeStridedVector{T}
One dimensional StridedArray

.
Base.StridedMatrix
— TypeStridedMatrix{T}
Two dimensional StridedArray
with elements of type T
.
Base.StridedVecOrMat
— TypeStridedVecOrMat{T}
Union type of StridedVector
and StridedMatrix
with elements of type T
.
Core.GenericMemory
— TypeGenericMemory{kind::Symbol, T, addrspace=Core.CPU} <: DenseVector{T}
Fixed-size DenseVector{T}
.
kind
can currently be either :not_atomic
or :atomic
. For details on what :atomic
implies, see AtomicMemory
addrspace
can currently only be set to Core.CPU. It is designed to to permit extension by other systems such as GPUs, which might define values such as:
module CUDA
const Generic = bitcast(Core.AddrSpace{CUDA}, 0)
const Global = bitcast(Core.AddrSpace{CUDA}, 1)
end
The exact semantics of these other addrspaces is defined by the specific backend, but will error if the user is attempting to access these on the CPU.
This type requires Julia 1.11 or later.
Core.Memory
— TypeMemory{T} == GenericMemory{:not_atomic, T, Core.CPU}
Fixed-size DenseVector{T}
.
This type requires Julia 1.11 or later.
Core.MemoryRef
— TypeMemoryRef(memory)
Construct a MemoryRef from a memory object. This does not fail, but the resulting memory may point out-of-bounds if the memory is empty.
MemoryRef(::Memory, index::Integer)
MemoryRef(::MemoryRef, index::Integer)
Construct a MemoryRef from a memory object and an offset index (1-based) which can also be negative. This always returns an inbounds object, and will throw an error if that is not possible (because the index would result in a shift out-of-bounds of the underlying memory).
Base.Slices
— TypeSlices{P,SM,AX,S,N} <: AbstractSlices{S,N}
An AbstractArray
of slices into a parent array over specified dimension(s), returning views that select all the data from the other dimension(s).
These should typically be constructed by eachslice
, eachcol
or eachrow
.
parent(s::Slices)
will return the parent array.
Base.RowSlices
— TypeRowSlices{M,AX,S}
A special case of Slices
that is a vector of row slices of a matrix, as constructed by eachrow
.
parent
can be used to get the underlying matrix.
Base.ColumnSlices
— TypeColumnSlices{M,AX,S}
A special case of Slices
that is a vector of column slices of a matrix, as constructed by eachcol
.
parent
can be used to get the underlying matrix.
Base.getindex
— Methodgetindex(type[, elements...])
Construct a 1-d array of the specified type. This is usually called with the syntax Type[]
. Element values can be specified using Type[a,b,c,...]
.
Examples
julia> Int8[1, 2, 3]
3-element Vector{Int8}:
1
2
3
julia> getindex(Int8, 1, 2, 3)
3-element Vector{Int8}:
1
2
3
Base.zeros
— Functionzeros([T=Float64,] dims::Tuple)
zeros([T=Float64,] dims...)
Create an Array
, with element type T
, of all zeros with size specified by dims
. See also fill
, ones
, zero
.
Examples
julia> zeros(1)
1-element Vector{Float64}:
0.0
julia> zeros(Int8, 2, 3)
2×3 Matrix{Int8}:
0 0 0
0 0 0
Base.ones
— Functionones([T=Float64,] dims::Tuple)
ones([T=Float64,] dims...)
Create an Array
, with element type T
, of all ones with size specified by dims
. See also fill
, zeros
.
Examples
julia> ones(1,2)
1×2 Matrix{Float64}:
1.0 1.0
julia> ones(ComplexF64, 2, 3)
2×3 Matrix{ComplexF64}:
1.0+0.0im 1.0+0.0im 1.0+0.0im
1.0+0.0im 1.0+0.0im 1.0+0.0im
Base.BitArray
— TypeBitArray{N} <: AbstractArray{Bool, N}
Space-efficient N
-dimensional boolean array, using just one bit for each boolean value.
BitArray
s pack up to 64 values into every 8 bytes, resulting in an 8x space efficiency over Array{Bool, N}
and allowing some operations to work on 64 values at once.
By default, Julia returns BitArrays
from broadcasting operations that generate boolean elements (including dotted-comparisons like .==
) as well as from the functions trues
and falses
.
Due to its packed storage format, concurrent access to the elements of a BitArray
where at least one of them is a write is not thread-safe.
Base.BitArray
— MethodBitArray(undef, dims::Integer...)
BitArray{N}(undef, dims::NTuple{N,Int})
Construct an undef BitArray
with the given dimensions. Behaves identically to the Array
constructor. See undef
.
Examples
julia> BitArray(undef, 2, 2)
2×2 BitMatrix:
0 0
0 0
julia> BitArray(undef, (3, 1))
3×1 BitMatrix:
0
0
0
Base.BitArray
— MethodBitArray(itr)
Construct a BitArray
generated by the given iterable object. The shape is inferred from the itr
object.
Examples
julia> BitArray([1 0; 0 1])
2×2 BitMatrix:
1 0
0 1
julia> BitArray(x+y == 3 for x = 1:2, y = 1:3)
2×3 BitMatrix:
0 1 0
1 0 0
julia> BitArray(x+y == 3 for x = 1:2 for y = 1:3)
6-element BitVector:
0
1
0
1
0
0
Base.trues
— Functiontrues(dims)
Create a BitArray
with all values set to true
.
Examples
julia> trues(2,3)
2×3 BitMatrix:
1 1 1
1 1 1
Base.falses
— Functionfalses(dims)
Create a BitArray
with all values set to false
.
Examples
julia> falses(2,3)
2×3 BitMatrix:
0 0 0
0 0 0
Base.fill
— Functionfill(value, dims::Tuple)
fill(value, dims...)
Create an array of size dims
with every location set to value
.
For example, fill(1.0, (5,5))
returns a 5×5 array of floats, with 1.0
in every location of the array.
The dimension lengths dims
may be specified as either a tuple or a sequence of arguments. An N
-length tuple or N
arguments following the value
specify an N
-dimensional array. Thus, a common idiom for creating a zero-dimensional array with its only location set to x
is fill(x)
.
Every location of the returned array is set to (and is thus ===
to) the value
that was passed; this means that if the value
is itself modified, all elements of the fill
ed array will reflect that modification because they're still that very value
. This is of no concern with fill(1.0, (5,5))
as the value
1.0
is immutable and cannot itself be modified, but can be unexpected with mutable values like — most commonly — arrays. For example, fill([], 3)
places the very same empty array in all three locations of the returned vector:
julia> v = fill([], 3)
3-element Vector{Vector{Any}}:
[]
[]
[]
julia> v[1] === v[2] === v[3]
true
julia> value = v[1]
Any[]
julia> push!(value, 867_5309)
1-element Vector{Any}:
8675309
julia> v
3-element Vector{Vector{Any}}:
[8675309]
[8675309]
[8675309]
To create an array of many independent inner arrays, use a comprehension instead. This creates a new and distinct array on each iteration of the loop:
julia> v2 = [[] for _ in 1:3]
3-element Vector{Vector{Any}}:
[]
[]
[]
julia> v2[1] === v2[2] === v2[3]
false
julia> push!(v2[1], 8675309)
1-element Vector{Any}:
8675309
julia> v2
3-element Vector{Vector{Any}}:
[8675309]
[]
[]

, zeros
, ones
, similar
.
Examples
julia> fill(1.0, (2,3))
2×3 Matrix{Float64}:
1.0 1.0 1.0
1.0 1.0 1.0
julia> fill(42)
0-dimensional Array{Int64, 0}:
42
julia> A = fill(zeros(2), 2) # sets both elements to the same [0.0, 0.0] vector
2-element Vector{Vector{Float64}}:
[0.0, 0.0]
[0.0, 0.0]
julia> A[1][1] = 42; # modifies the filled value to be [42.0, 0.0]
julia> A # both A[1] and A[2] are the very same vector
2-element Vector{Vector{Float64}}:
[42.0, 0.0]
[42.0, 0.0]
Base.fill!
— Functionfill!(A, x)
Fill array A
with the value x
. If x
is an object reference, all elements will refer to the same object. fill!(A, Foo())
will return A
filled with the result of evaluating Foo()
once.
Examples
julia> A = zeros(2,3)
2×3 Matrix{Float64}:
0.0 0.0 0.0
0.0 0.0 0.0
julia> fill!(A, 2.)
2×3 Matrix{Float64}:
2.0 2.0 2.0
2.0 2.0 2.0
julia> a = [1, 1, 1]; A = fill!(Vector{Vector{Int}}(undef, 3), a); a[1] = 2; A
3-element Vector{Vector{Int64}}:
[2, 1, 1]
[2, 1, 1]
[2, 1, 1]
julia> x = 0; f() = (global x += 1; x); fill!(Vector{Int}(undef, 3), f())
3-element Vector{Int64}:
1
1
1
Base.empty
— Functionempty(x::Tuple)
Return an empty tuple, ()
.
empty(v::AbstractVector, [eltype])
Create an empty vector similar to v
, optionally changing the eltype
.
See also: empty!
, isempty
, isassigned
.
Examples
julia> empty([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
Float64[]
julia> empty([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], String)
String[]
empty(a::AbstractDict, [index_type=keytype(a)], [value_type=valtype(a)])
Create an empty AbstractDict
container which can accept indices of type index_type
and values of type value_type
. The second and third arguments are optional and default to the input's keytype
and valtype
, respectively. (If only one of the two types is specified, it is assumed to be the value_type
, and the index_type
we default to keytype(a)
).
Custom AbstractDict
subtypes may choose which specific dictionary type is best suited to return for the given index and value types, by specializing on the three-argument signature. The default is to return an empty Dict
.
Base.similar
— Functionsimilar(A::AbstractSparseMatrixCSC{Tv,Ti}, [::Type{TvNew}, ::Type{TiNew}, m::Integer, n::Integer]) where {Tv,Ti}
Create an uninitialized mutable array with the given element type, index type, and size, based upon the given source SparseMatrixCSC
. The new sparse matrix maintains the structure of the original sparse matrix, except in the case where dimensions of the output matrix are different from the output.
The output matrix has zeros in the same locations as the input, but uninitialized values for the nonzero locations.
similar(array, [element_type=eltype(array)], [dims=size(array)])
Create an uninitialized mutable array with the given element type and size, based upon the given source array. The second and third arguments are both optional, defaulting to the given array's eltype
and size
. The dimensions may be specified either as a single tuple argument or as a series of integer arguments.
Custom AbstractArray subtypes may choose which specific array type is best-suited to return for the given element type and dimensionality. If they do not specialize this method, the default is an Array{element_type}(undef, dims...)
.
For example, similar(1:10, 1, 4)
returns an uninitialized Array{Int,2}
since ranges are neither mutable nor support 2 dimensions:
julia> similar(1:10, 1, 4)
1×4 Matrix{Int64}:
4419743872 4374413872 4419743888 0
Conversely, similar(trues(10,10), 2)
returns an uninitialized BitVector
with two elements since BitArray
s are both mutable and can support 1-dimensional arrays:
julia> similar(trues(10,10), 2)
2-element BitVector:
0
0
Since BitArray
s can only store elements of type Bool
, however, if you request a different element type it will create a regular Array
instead:
julia> similar(falses(10), Float64, 2, 4)
2×4 Matrix{Float64}:
2.18425e-314 2.18425e-314 2.18425e-314 2.18425e-314
2.18425e-314 2.18425e-314 2.18425e-314 2.18425e-314
See also: undef
, isassigned
.
similar(storagetype, axes)
Create an uninitialized mutable array analogous to that specified by storagetype
, but with axes
specified by the last argument.
Examples:
similar(Array{Int}, axes(A))
creates an array that "acts like" an Array{Int}
(and might indeed be backed by one), but which is indexed identically to A
. If A
has conventional indexing, this will be identical to Array{Int}(undef, size(A))
, but if A
has unconventional indexing then the indices of the result will match A
.
similar(BitArray, (axes(A, 2),))
would create a 1-dimensional logical array whose indices match those of the columns of A
.
Basic functions
Base.ndims
— Functionndims(A::AbstractArray) -> Integer
Return the number of dimensions of A
.
Examples
julia> A = fill(1, (3,4,5));
julia> ndims(A)
3
Base.size
— Functionsize(A::AbstractArray, [dim])
Return a tuple containing the dimensions of A
. Optionally you can specify a dimension to just get the length of that dimension.
Note that size
may not be defined for arrays with non-standard indices, in which case axes
may be useful. See the manual chapter on arrays with custom indices.
See also: length
, ndims
, eachindex
, sizeof
.
Examples
julia> A = fill(1, (2,3,4));
julia> size(A)
(2, 3, 4)
julia> size(A, 2)
3
Base.axes
— Methodaxes(A)
Return the tuple of valid indices for array A
.
See also: size
, keys
, eachindex
.
Examples
julia> A = fill(1, (5,6,7));
julia> axes(A)
(Base.OneTo(5), Base.OneTo(6), Base.OneTo(7))
Base.axes
— Methodaxes(A, d)
Return the valid range of indices for array A
along dimension d
.
See also size
, and the manual chapter on arrays with custom indices.
Examples
julia> A = fill(1, (5,6,7));
julia> axes(A, 2)
Base.OneTo(6)
julia> axes(A, 4) == 1:1 # all dimensions d > ndims(A) have size 1
true
Usage note
Each of the indices has to be an AbstractUnitRange{<:Integer}
, but at the same time can be a type that uses custom indices. So, for example, if you need a subset, use generalized indexing constructs like begin
/end
or firstindex
/lastindex
:
ix = axes(v, 1)
ix[2:end] # will work for eg Vector, but may fail in general
ix[(begin+1):end] # works for generalized indexes
Base.length
— Methodlength(A::AbstractArray)
Return the number of elements in the array, defaults to prod(size(A))
.
Examples
julia> length([1, 2, 3, 4])
4
julia> length([1 2; 3 4])
4
Base.keys
— Methodkeys(a::AbstractArray)
Return an efficient array describing all valid indices for a
arranged in the shape of a
itself.
The keys of 1-dimensional arrays (vectors) are integers, whereas all other N-dimensional arrays use CartesianIndex
to describe their locations. Often the special array types LinearIndices
and CartesianIndices
are used to efficiently represent these arrays of integers and CartesianIndex
es, respectively.
Note that the keys
of an array might not be the most efficient index type; for maximum performance use eachindex
instead.
Examples
julia> keys([4, 5, 6])
3-element LinearIndices{1, Tuple{Base.OneTo{Int64}}}:
1
2
3
julia> keys([4 5; 6 7])
CartesianIndices((2, 2))
Base.eachindex
— Functioneachindex(A...)
eachindex(::IndexStyle, A::AbstractArray...)
Create an iterable object for visiting each index of an AbstractArray
A
in an efficient manner. For array types that have opted into fast linear indexing (like Array
), this is simply the range 1:length(A)
if they use 1-based indexing. For array types that have not opted into fast linear indexing, a specialized Cartesian range is typically returned to efficiently index into the array with indices specified for every dimension.
In general eachindex
accepts arbitrary iterables, including strings and dictionaries, and returns an iterator object supporting arbitrary index types (e.g. unevenly spaced or non-integer indices).
If A
is AbstractArray
it is possible to explicitly specify the style of the indices that should be returned by eachindex
by passing a value having IndexStyle
type as its first argument (typically IndexLinear()
if linear indices are required or IndexCartesian()
if Cartesian range is wanted).
If you supply more than one AbstractArray
argument, eachindex
will create an iterable object that is fast for all arguments (typically a UnitRange
if all inputs have fast linear indexing, a CartesianIndices
otherwise). If the arrays have different sizes and/or dimensionalities, a DimensionMismatch

Base.IndexStyle
— TypeIndexStyle(A)
IndexStyle(typeof(A))
IndexStyle
specifies the "native indexing style" for array A
. When you define a new AbstractArray
type, you can choose to implement either linear indexing (with IndexLinear
) or cartesian indexing. If you decide to only implement linear indexing, then you must set this trait for your array type:
Base.IndexStyle(::Type{<:MyArray}) = IndexLinear()
The default is IndexCartesian()
.
Julia's internal indexing machinery will automatically (and invisibly) recompute all indexing operations into the preferred style. This allows users to access elements of your array using any indexing style, even when explicit methods have not been provided.
If you define both styles of indexing for your AbstractArray
, this trait can be used to select the most performant indexing style. Some methods check this trait on their inputs, and dispatch to different algorithms depending on the most efficient access pattern. In particular, eachindex
creates an iterator whose type depends on the setting of this trait.
Base.IndexLinear
— TypeIndexLinear()
Subtype of IndexStyle
used to describe arrays which are optimally indexed by one linear index.
A linear indexing style uses one integer index to describe the position in the array (even if it's a multidimensional array) and column-major ordering is used to efficiently access the elements. This means that requesting eachindex
from an array that is IndexLinear
will return a simple one-dimensional range, even if it is multidimensional.
A custom array that reports its IndexStyle
as IndexLinear
only needs to implement indexing (and indexed assignment) with a single Int
index; all other indexing expressions — including multidimensional accesses — will be recomputed to the linear index. For example, if A
were a 2×3
custom matrix with linear indexing, and we referenced A[1, 3]
, this would be recomputed to the equivalent linear index and call A[5]
since 1 + 2*(3 - 1) = 5
.
See also IndexCartesian
.
Base.IndexCartesian
— TypeIndexCartesian()
Subtype of IndexStyle
used to describe arrays which are optimally indexed by a Cartesian index. This is the default for new custom AbstractArray
subtypes.
A Cartesian indexing style uses multiple integer indices to describe the position in a multidimensional array, with exactly one index per dimension. This means that requesting eachindex
from an array that is IndexCartesian
will return a range of CartesianIndices
.
A N
-dimensional custom array that reports its IndexStyle
as IndexCartesian
needs to implement indexing (and indexed assignment) with exactly N
Int
indices; all other indexing expressions — including linear indexing — will be recomputed to the equivalent Cartesian location. For example, if A
were a 2×3
custom matrix with cartesian indexing, and we referenced A[5]
, this would be recomputed to the equivalent Cartesian index and call A[1, 3]
since 5 = 1 + 2*(3 - 1)
.
It is significantly more expensive to compute Cartesian indices from a linear index than it is to go the other way. The former operation requires division — a very costly operation — whereas the latter only uses multiplication and addition and is essentially free. This asymmetry means it is far more costly to use linear indexing with an IndexCartesian
array than it is to use Cartesian indexing with an IndexLinear
array.

Base.conj!
— Functionconj!(A)
Transform an array to its complex conjugate in-place.
See also conj
.
Examples
julia> A = [1+im 2-im; 2+2im 3+im]
2×2 Matrix{Complex{Int64}}:
1+1im 2-1im
2+2im 3+1im
julia> conj!(A);
julia> A
2×2 Matrix{Complex{Int64}}:
1-1im 2+1im
2-2im 3-1im
Base.stride
— Functionstride(A, k::Integer)
Return the distance in memory (in number of elements) between adjacent elements in dimension k
.
See also: strides
.
Examples
julia> A = fill(1, (3,4,5));
julia> stride(A,2)
3
julia> stride(A,3)
12
Base.strides
— Functionstrides(A)
Return a tuple of the memory strides in each dimension.
See also: stride
.
Examples
julia> A = fill(1, (3,4,5));
julia> strides(A)
(1, 3, 12)
Broadcast and vectorization
See also the dot syntax for vectorizing functions; for example, f.(args...)
implicitly calls broadcast(f, args...)
. Rather than relying on "vectorized" methods of functions like sin
to operate on arrays, you should use sin.(a)
to vectorize via broadcast
.
Base.Broadcast.broadcast
— Functionbroadcast(f, As...)
Broadcast the function f
over the arrays, tuples, collections, Ref
s and/or scalars As
.
Broadcasting applies the function f
over the elements of the container arguments and the scalars themselves in As
. Singleton and missing dimensions are expanded to match the extents of the other arguments by virtually repeating the value. By default, only a limited number of types are considered scalars, including Number
s, String
s, Symbol
s, Type
s, Function
s and some common singletons like missing
and nothing
. All other arguments are iterated over or indexed into elementwise.
The resulting container type is established by the following rules:
- If all the arguments are scalars or zero-dimensional arrays, it returns an unwrapped scalar.
- If at least one argument is a tuple and all others are scalars or zero-dimensional arrays, it returns a tuple.
- All other combinations of arguments default to returning an
Array
, but custom container types can define their own implementation and promotion-like rules to customize the result when they appear as arguments.
A special syntax exists for broadcasting: f.(args...)
is equivalent to broadcast(f, args...)
, and nested f.(g.(args...))
calls are fused into a single broadcast loop.

5-element Vector{Int64}:

Base.Broadcast.broadcast!
— Functionbroadcast!(f, dest, As...)
Like broadcast
, but store the result of broadcast(f, As...)
in the dest
array. Note that dest
is only used to store the result, and does not supply arguments to f
unless it is also listed in the As
, as in broadcast!(f, A, A, B)
to perform A[:] = broadcast(f, A, B)
.
Examples
julia> A = [1.0; 0.0]; B = [0.0; 0.0];
julia> broadcast!(+, B, A, (0, -2.0));
julia> B

Base.Broadcast.@__dot__
— Macro@. expr
Convert every function call or operator in expr
into a "dot call" (e.g. convert f(x)
to f.(x)
), and convert every assignment in expr
to a "dot assignment" (e.g. convert +=
to .+=
).
If you want to avoid adding dots for selected function calls in expr
, splice those function calls in with $
. For example, @. sqrt(abs($sort(x)))
is equivalent to sqrt.(abs.(sort(x)))
(no dot for sort
).
(@.
is equivalent to a call to @__dot__
.)
Examples
julia> x = 1.0:3.0; y = similar(x);
julia> @. y = x + 3 * sin(x)

For specializing broadcast on custom types, see
Base.Broadcast.BroadcastStyle
— TypeBroadcastStyle
is an abstract type and trait-function used to determine behavior of objects under broadcasting. BroadcastStyle(typeof(x))
returns the style associated with x
. To customize the broadcasting behavior of a type, one can declare a style by defining a type/method pair
struct MyContainerStyle <: BroadcastStyle end
Base.BroadcastStyle(::Type{<:MyContainer}) = MyContainerStyle()
One then writes method(s) (at least similar
) operating on Broadcasted{MyContainerStyle}
. There are also several pre-defined subtypes of BroadcastStyle
that you may be able to leverage; see the Interfaces chapter for more information.
Base.Broadcast.AbstractArrayStyle
— TypeBroadcast.AbstractArrayStyle{N} <: BroadcastStyle
is the abstract supertype for any style associated with an AbstractArray
type. The N
parameter is the dimensionality, which can be handy for AbstractArray types that only support specific dimensionalities:
struct SparseMatrixStyle <: Broadcast.AbstractArrayStyle{2} end
Base.BroadcastStyle(::Type{<:SparseMatrixCSC}) = SparseMatrixStyle()
For AbstractArray
types that support arbitrary dimensionality, N
can be set to Any
:
struct MyArrayStyle <: Broadcast.AbstractArrayStyle{Any} end
Base.BroadcastStyle(::Type{<:MyArray}) = MyArrayStyle()
In cases where you want to be able to mix multiple AbstractArrayStyle
s and keep track of dimensionality, your style needs to support a Val
constructor:
struct MyArrayStyleDim{N} <: Broadcast.AbstractArrayStyle{N} end
(::Type{<:MyArrayStyleDim})(::Val{N}) where N = MyArrayStyleDim{N}()
Note that if two or more AbstractArrayStyle
subtypes conflict, broadcasting machinery will fall back to producing Array
s. If this is undesirable, you may need to define binary BroadcastStyle
rules to control the output type.
See also Broadcast.DefaultArrayStyle
.
Base.Broadcast.ArrayStyle
— TypeBroadcast.ArrayStyle{MyArrayType}()
is a BroadcastStyle
indicating that an object behaves as an array for broadcasting. It presents a simple way to construct Broadcast.AbstractArrayStyle
s for specific AbstractArray
container types. Broadcast styles created this way lose track of dimensionality; if keeping track is important for your type, you should create your own custom Broadcast.AbstractArrayStyle
.
Base.Broadcast.DefaultArrayStyle
— TypeBroadcast.DefaultArrayStyle{N}()
is a BroadcastStyle
indicating that an object behaves as an N
-dimensional array for broadcasting. Specifically, DefaultArrayStyle
is used for any AbstractArray
type that hasn't defined a specialized style, and in the absence of overrides from other broadcast
arguments the resulting output type is Array
. When there are multiple inputs to broadcast
, DefaultArrayStyle
"loses" to any other Broadcast.ArrayStyle
.
Base.Broadcast.broadcastable
— FunctionBroadcast.broadcastable(x)
Return either x
or an object like x
such that it supports axes
, indexing, and its type supports ndims
.
If x
supports iteration, the returned value should have the same axes
and indexing behaviors as collect(x)
.
If x
is not an AbstractArray
but it supports axes
, indexing, and its type supports ndims
, then broadcastable(::typeof(x))
may be implemented to just return itself. Further, if x
defines its own BroadcastStyle
, then it must define its broadcastable
method to return itself for the custom style to have any effect.
Examples
julia> Broadcast.broadcastable([1,2,3]) # like `identity` since arrays already support axes and indexing
3-element Vector{Int64}:
1
2
3
julia> Broadcast.broadcastable(Int) # Types don't support axes, indexing, or iteration but are commonly used as scalars
Base.RefValue{Type{Int64}}(Int64)
julia> Broadcast.broadcastable("hello") # Strings break convention of matching iteration and act like a scalar instead
Base.RefValue{String}("hello")
Base.Broadcast.combine_axes
— Functioncombine_axes(As...) -> Tuple
Determine the result axes for broadcasting across all values in As
.
julia> Broadcast.combine_axes([1], [1 2; 3 4; 5 6])
(Base.OneTo(3), Base.OneTo(2))
julia> Broadcast.combine_axes(1, 1, 1)
()
Base.Broadcast.combine_styles
— Functioncombine_styles(cs...) -> BroadcastStyle
Decides which BroadcastStyle
to use for any number of value arguments. Uses BroadcastStyle
to get the style for each argument, and uses result_style
to combine styles.
Examples
julia> Broadcast.combine_styles([1], [1 2; 3 4])
Base.Broadcast.DefaultArrayStyle{2}()
Base.Broadcast.result_style
— Functionresult_style(s1::BroadcastStyle[, s2::BroadcastStyle]) -> BroadcastStyle
Takes one or two BroadcastStyle
s and combines them using BroadcastStyle
to determine a common BroadcastStyle
.
Examples
julia> Broadcast.result_style(Broadcast.DefaultArrayStyle{0}(), Broadcast.DefaultArrayStyle{3}())
Base.Broadcast.DefaultArrayStyle{3}()
julia> Broadcast.result_style(Broadcast.Unknown(), Broadcast.DefaultArrayStyle{1}())
Base.Broadcast.DefaultArrayStyle{1}()
Indexing and assignment
Base.getindex
— Methodgetindex(A, inds...)
Return a subset of array A
as selected by the indices inds
.
Each index may be any supported index type, such as an Integer
, CartesianIndex
, range, or array of supported indices. A : may be used to select all elements along a specific dimension, and a boolean array (e.g. an Array{Bool}
or a BitArray
) may be used to filter for elements where the corresponding index is true
.
When inds
selects multiple elements, this function returns a newly allocated array. To index multiple elements without making a copy, use view
instead.
See the manual section on array indexing for details.
Examples
julia> A = [1 2; 3 4]
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2
3 4
julia> getindex(A, 1)

Base.setindex!
— Methodsetindex!(A, X, inds...)
A[inds...] = X
Store values from array X
within some subset of A
as specified by inds
. The syntax A[inds...] = X
is equivalent to (setindex!(A, X, inds...); X)
.
Behavior can be unexpected when any mutated argument shares memory with any other argument.
Examples
julia> A = zeros(2,2);
julia> setindex!(A, [10, 20], [1, 2]);
julia> A[[3, 4]] = [30, 40];
julia> A
2×2 Matrix{Float64}:
10.0 30.0
20.0 40.0
Base.nextind
— Functionnextind(A, i)
Return the index after i
in A
. The returned index is often equivalent to i + 1
for an integer i
. This function can be useful for generic code.
The returned index might be out of bounds. Consider using checkbounds
.
See also: prevind
.
Examples
julia> x = [1 2; 3 4]
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2

julia> nextind(x, 1) # valid result
2
julia> nextind(x, 4) # invalid result

julia> nextind(x, CartesianIndex(1, 1)) # valid result
CartesianIndex(2, 1)
julia> nextind(x, CartesianIndex(2, 2)) # invalid result
CartesianIndex(1, 3)
Base.prevind
— Functionprevind(A, i)
Return the index before i
in A
. The returned index is often equivalent to i - 1
for an integer i
. This function can be useful for generic code.
The returned index might be out of bounds. Consider using checkbounds
.
See also: nextind
.
Examples
julia> x = [1 2; 3 4]
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:

julia> prevind(x, 4) # valid result

julia> prevind(x, 1) # invalid result

julia> prevind(x, CartesianIndex(2, 2)) # valid result
CartesianIndex(1, 2)
julia> prevind(x, CartesianIndex(1, 1)) # invalid result
CartesianIndex(2, 0)
Base.copyto!
— Methodcopyto!(dest, Rdest::CartesianIndices, src, Rsrc::CartesianIndices) -> dest
Copy the block of src
in the range of Rsrc
to the block of dest
in the range of Rdest
. The sizes of the two regions must match.
Examples
julia> A = zeros(5, 5);
julia> B = [1 2; 3 4];
julia> Ainds = CartesianIndices((2:3, 2:3));
julia> Binds = CartesianIndices(B);
julia> copyto!(A, Ainds, B, Binds)

0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
0.0 1.0 2.0 0.0 0.0
0.0 3.0 4.0 0.0 0.0
0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
Base.copy!
— Functioncopy!(dst, src) -> dst
In-place copy
of src
into dst
, discarding any pre-existing elements in dst
. If dst
and src
are of the same type, dst == src
should hold after the call. If dst
and src
are multidimensional arrays, they must have equal axes
.
Behavior can be unexpected when any mutated argument shares memory with any other argument.
See also copyto!
.
This method requires at least Julia 1.1. In Julia 1.0 this method is available from the Future
standard library as Future.copy!
.
Base.isassigned
— Functionisassigned(array, i) -> Bool
Test whether the given array has a value associated with index i
. Return false
if the index is out of bounds, or has an undefined reference.
Examples
julia> isassigned(rand(3, 3), 5)
true
julia> isassigned(rand(3, 3), 3 * 3 + 1)
false
julia> mutable struct Foo end
julia> v = similar(rand(3), Foo)
3-element Vector{Foo}:
#undef
#undef
#undef
julia> isassigned(v, 1)
false
Base.Colon
— TypeColon()
Colons (:) are used to signify indexing entire objects or dimensions at once.
Very few operations are defined on Colons directly; instead they are converted by to_indices
to an internal vector type (Base.Slice
) to represent the collection of indices they span before being used.
The singleton instance of Colon
is also a function used to construct ranges; see :
.
Base.IteratorsMD.CartesianIndex
— TypeCartesianIndex(i, j, k...) -> I
CartesianIndex((i, j, k...)) -> I
Create a multidimensional index I
, which can be used for indexing a multidimensional array A
. In particular, A[I]
is equivalent to A[i,j,k...]
. One can freely mix integer and CartesianIndex
indices; for example, A[Ipre, i, Ipost]
(where Ipre
and Ipost
are CartesianIndex
indices and i
is an Int
) can be a useful expression when writing algorithms that work along a single dimension of an array of arbitrary dimensionality.
A CartesianIndex
is sometimes produced by eachindex
, and always when iterating with an explicit CartesianIndices
.
An I::CartesianIndex
is treated as a "scalar" (not a container) for broadcast
. In order to iterate over the components of a CartesianIndex
, convert it to a tuple with Tuple(I)
.
Examples
julia> A = reshape(Vector(1:16), (2, 2, 2, 2))
2×2×2×2 Array{Int64, 4}:
[:, :, 1, 1] =
1 3
2 4
[:, :, 2, 1] =
5 7
6 8
[:, :, 1, 2] =
9 11
10 12
[:, :, 2, 2] =
13 15
14 16
julia> A[CartesianIndex((1, 1, 1, 1))]
1
julia> A[CartesianIndex((1, 1, 1, 2))]
9
julia> A[CartesianIndex((1, 1, 2, 1))]
5
Using a CartesianIndex
as a "scalar" for broadcast
requires Julia 1.10; in previous releases, use Ref(I)
.
Base.IteratorsMD.CartesianIndices
— TypeCartesianIndices(sz::Dims) -> R
CartesianIndices((istart:[istep:]istop, jstart:[jstep:]jstop, ...)) -> R
Define a region R
spanning a multidimensional rectangular range of integer indices. These are most commonly encountered in the context of iteration, where for I in R ... end
will return CartesianIndex
indices I
equivalent to the nested loops
for j = jstart:jstep:jstop
for i = istart:istep:istop
...
end
end
Consequently these can be useful for writing algorithms that work in arbitrary dimensions.
CartesianIndices(A::AbstractArray) -> R
As a convenience, constructing a CartesianIndices
from an array makes a range of its indices.
The step range method CartesianIndices((istart:istep:istop, jstart:[jstep:]jstop, ...))
requires at least Julia 1.6.
Examples
julia> foreach(println, CartesianIndices((2, 2, 2)))
CartesianIndex(1, 1, 1)
CartesianIndex(2, 1, 1)
CartesianIndex(1, 2, 1)
CartesianIndex(2, 2, 1)
CartesianIndex(1, 1, 2)
CartesianIndex(2, 1, 2)
CartesianIndex(1, 2, 2)
CartesianIndex(2, 2, 2)
julia> CartesianIndices(fill(1, (2,3)))
CartesianIndices((2, 3))
Conversion between linear and cartesian indices
Linear index to cartesian index conversion exploits the fact that a CartesianIndices
is an AbstractArray
and can be indexed linearly:
julia> cartesian = CartesianIndices((1:3, 1:2))
CartesianIndices((1:3, 1:2))
julia> cartesian[4]
CartesianIndex(1, 2)
julia> cartesian = CartesianIndices((1:2:5, 1:2))
CartesianIndices((1:2:5, 1:2))
julia> cartesian[2, 2]
CartesianIndex(3, 2)
Broadcasting
CartesianIndices
support broadcasting arithmetic (+ and -) with a CartesianIndex
.
Broadcasting of CartesianIndices requires at least Julia 1.1.
julia> CIs = CartesianIndices((2:3, 5:6))
CartesianIndices((2:3, 5:6))
julia> CI = CartesianIndex(3, 4)
CartesianIndex(3, 4)
julia> CIs .+ CI
CartesianIndices((5:6, 9:10))
For cartesian to linear index conversion, see LinearIndices
.
Base.Dims
— TypeDims{N}
An NTuple
of N
Int
s used to represent the dimensions of an AbstractArray
.
Base.LinearIndices
— TypeLinearIndices(A::AbstractArray)
Return a LinearIndices
array with the same shape and axes
as A
, holding the linear index of each entry in A
. Indexing this array with cartesian indices allows mapping them to linear indices.
For arrays with conventional indexing (indices start at 1), or any multidimensional array, linear indices range from 1 to length(A)
. However, for AbstractVector
s linear indices are axes(A, 1)
, and therefore do not start at 1 for vectors with unconventional indexing.
Calling this function is the "safe" way to write algorithms that exploit linear indexing.
Examples
julia> A = fill(1, (5,6,7));
julia> b = LinearIndices(A);
julia> extrema(b)
(1, 210)
LinearIndices(inds::CartesianIndices) -> R
LinearIndices(sz::Dims) -> R
LinearIndices((istart:istop, jstart:jstop, ...)) -> R
Return a LinearIndices
array with the specified shape or axes
.
Examples
The main purpose of this constructor is intuitive conversion from cartesian to linear indexing:
julia> linear = LinearIndices((1:3, 1:2))
3×2 LinearIndices{2, Tuple{UnitRange{Int64}, UnitRange{Int64}}}:
1 4
2 5
3 6
julia> linear[1,2]

Base.to_indices
— Functionto_indices(A, I::Tuple)
Convert the tuple I
to a tuple of indices for use in indexing into array A
.
The returned tuple must only contain either Int
s or AbstractArray
s of scalar indices that are supported by array A
. It will error upon encountering a novel index type that it does not know how to process.
For simple index types, it defers to the unexported Base.to_index(A, i)
to process each index i
. While this internal function is not intended to be called directly, Base.to_index
may be extended by custom array or index types to provide custom indexing behaviors.
More complicated index types may require more context about the dimension into which they index. To support those cases, to_indices(A, I)
calls to_indices(A, axes(A), I)
, which then recursively walks through both the given tuple of indices and the dimensional indices of A
in tandem. As such, not all index types are guaranteed to propagate to Base.to_index
.
Examples
julia> A = zeros(1,2,3,4);
julia> to_indices(A, (1,1,2,2))
(1, 1, 2, 2)
julia> to_indices(A, (1,1,2,20)) # no bounds checking
(1, 1, 2, 20)
julia> to_indices(A, (CartesianIndex((1,)), 2, CartesianIndex((3,4)))) # exotic index
(1, 2, 3, 4)
julia> to_indices(A, ([1,1], 1:2, 3, 4))
([1, 1], 1:2, 3, 4)
julia> to_indices(A, (1,2)) # no shape checking
(1, 2)
Base.checkbounds
— Functioncheckbounds(Bool, A, I...)
Return true
if the specified indices I
are in bounds for the given array A
. Subtypes of AbstractArray
should specialize this method if they need to provide custom bounds checking behaviors; however, in many cases one can rely on A
's indices and checkindex
.
See also checkindex
.
Examples
julia> A = rand(3, 3);
julia> checkbounds(Bool, A, 2)
true
julia> checkbounds(Bool, A, 3, 4)
false
julia> checkbounds(Bool, A, 1:3)
true
julia> checkbounds(Bool, A, 1:3, 2:4)
false
checkbounds(A, I...)
Throw an error if the specified indices I
are not in bounds for the given array A
.
Base.checkindex
— Functioncheckindex(Bool, inds::AbstractUnitRange, index)
Return true
if the given index
is within the bounds of inds
. Custom types that would like to behave as indices for all arrays can extend this method in order to provide a specialized bounds checking implementation.
See also checkbounds
.
Examples
julia> checkindex(Bool, 1:20, 8)
true
julia> checkindex(Bool, 1:20, 21)
false
Base.elsize
— Functionelsize(type)
Compute the memory stride in bytes between consecutive elements of eltype
stored inside the given type
, if the array elements are stored densely with a uniform linear stride.
Examples
julia> Base.elsize(rand(Float32, 10))

Views (SubArrays and other view types)
A “view” is a data structure that acts like an array (it is a subtype of AbstractArray
), but the underlying data is actually part of another array.
For example, if x
is an array and v = @view x[1:10]
, then v
acts like a 10-element array, but its data is actually accessing the first 10 elements of x
. Writing to a view, e.g. v[3] = 2
, writes directly to the underlying array x
(in this case modifying x[3]
).
Slicing operations like x[1:10]
create a copy by default in Julia. @view x[1:10]
changes it to make a view. The @views
macro can be used on a whole block of code (e.g. @views function foo() .... end
or @views begin ... end
) to change all the slicing operations in that block to use views. Sometimes making a copy of the data is faster and sometimes using a view is faster, as described in the performance tips.
Base.view
— Functionview(A, inds...)
Like getindex
, but returns a lightweight array that lazily references (or is effectively a view into) the parent array A
at the given index or indices inds
instead of eagerly extracting elements or constructing a copied subset. Calling getindex
or setindex!
on the returned value (often a SubArray
) computes the indices to access or modify the parent array on the fly. The behavior is undefined if the shape of the parent array is changed after view
is called because there is no bound check for the parent array; e.g., it may cause a segmentation fault.
Some immutable parent arrays (like ranges) may choose to simply recompute a new array in some circumstances instead of returning a SubArray
if doing so is efficient and provides compatible semantics.
In Julia 1.6 or later, view
can be called on an AbstractString
, returning a SubString
.
Examples
julia> A = [1 2; 3 4]
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2
3 4
julia> b = view(A, :, 1)
2-element view(::Matrix{Int64}, :, 1) with eltype Int64:
1
3
julia> fill!(b, 0)
2-element view(::Matrix{Int64}, :, 1) with eltype Int64:
0
0
julia> A # Note A has changed even though we modified b
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
0 2
0 4
julia> view(2:5, 2:3) # returns a range as type is immutable
3:4
Base.@view
— Macro@view A[inds...]
Transform the indexing expression A[inds...]
into the equivalent view
call.
This can only be applied directly to a single indexing expression and is particularly helpful for expressions that include the special begin
or end
indexing syntaxes like A[begin, 2:end-1]
(as those are not supported by the normal view
function).
Note that @view
cannot be used as the target of a regular assignment (e.g., @view(A[1, 2:end]) = ...
), nor would the un-decorated indexed assignment (A[1, 2:end] = ...
) or broadcasted indexed assignment (A[1, 2:end] .= ...
) make a copy. It can be useful, however, for updating broadcasted assignments like @view(A[1, 2:end]) .+= 1
because this is a simple syntax for @view(A[1, 2:end]) .= @view(A[1, 2:end]) + 1
, and the indexing expression on the right-hand side would otherwise make a copy without the @view
.
See also @views
to switch an entire block of code to use views for non-scalar indexing.
Using begin
in an indexing expression to refer to the first index requires at least Julia 1.5.
Examples
julia> A = [1 2; 3 4]
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2
3 4
julia> b = @view A[:, 1]
2-element view(::Matrix{Int64}, :, 1) with eltype Int64:
1
3
julia> fill!(b, 0)
2-element view(::Matrix{Int64}, :, 1) with eltype Int64:
0
0
julia> A
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
0 2
0 4
Base.@views
— Macro@views expression
Convert every array-slicing operation in the given expression (which may be a begin
/end
block, loop, function, etc.) to return a view. Scalar indices, non-array types, and explicit getindex
calls (as opposed to array[...]
) are unaffected.
Similarly, @views
converts string slices into SubString
views.
The @views
macro only affects array[...]
expressions that appear explicitly in the given expression
, not array slicing that occurs in functions called by that code.
Using begin
in an indexing expression to refer to the first index was implemented in Julia 1.4, but was only supported by @views
starting in Julia 1.5.
Examples
julia> A = zeros(3, 3);
julia> @views for row in 1:3
b = A[row, :] # b is a view, not a copy
b .= row # assign every element to the row index
end
julia> A
3×3 Matrix{Float64}:
1.0 1.0 1.0
2.0 2.0 2.0
3.0 3.0 3.0
Base.parent
— Functionparent(A)
Return the underlying parent object of the view. This parent of objects of types SubArray
, SubString
, ReshapedArray
or LinearAlgebra.Transpose
is what was passed as an argument to view
, reshape
, transpose
, etc. during object creation. If the input is not a wrapped object, return the input itself. If the input is wrapped multiple times, only the outermost wrapper will be removed.
Examples
julia> A = [1 2; 3 4]
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2
3 4
julia> V = view(A, 1:2, :)
2×2 view(::Matrix{Int64}, 1:2, :) with eltype Int64:
1 2
3 4
julia> parent(V)
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2
3 4
Base.parentindices
— Functionparentindices(A)
Return the indices in the parent
which correspond to the view A
.
Examples
julia> A = [1 2; 3 4];
julia> V = view(A, 1, :)
2-element view(::Matrix{Int64}, 1, :) with eltype Int64:
1
2
julia> parentindices(V)
(1, Base.Slice(Base.OneTo(2)))
Base.selectdim
— Functionselectdim(A, d::Integer, i)
Return a view of all the data of A
where the index for dimension d
equals i
.
Equivalent to view(A,:,:,...,i,:,:,...)
where i
is in position d
.
See also: eachslice
.
Examples
julia> A = [1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8]
2×4 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
julia> selectdim(A, 2, 3)
2-element view(::Matrix{Int64}, :, 3) with eltype Int64:
3
7
julia> selectdim(A, 2, 3:4)
2×2 view(::Matrix{Int64}, :, 3:4) with eltype Int64:
3 4
7 8
Base.reinterpret
— Functionreinterpret(::Type{Out}, x::In)
Change the type-interpretation of the binary data in the isbits value x
to that of the isbits type Out
. The size (ignoring padding) of Out
has to be the same as that of the type of x
. For example, reinterpret(Float32, UInt32(7))
interprets the 4 bytes corresponding to UInt32(7)
as a Float32
. Note that reinterpret(In, reinterpret(Out, x)) === x
julia> reinterpret(Float32, UInt32(7))
1.0f-44
julia> reinterpret(NTuple{2, UInt8}, 0x1234)
(0x34, 0x12)
julia> reinterpret(UInt16, (0x34, 0x12))
0x1234
julia> reinterpret(Tuple{UInt16, UInt8}, (0x01, 0x0203))
(0x0301, 0x02)
The treatment of padding differs from reinterpret(::DataType, ::AbstractArray).
Use caution if some combinations of bits in Out
are not considered valid and would otherwise be prevented by the type's constructors and methods. Unexpected behavior may result without additional validation.
reinterpret(T::DataType, A::AbstractArray)
Construct a view of the array with the same binary data as the given array, but with T
as element type.
This function also works on "lazy" array whose elements are not computed until they are explicitly retrieved. For instance, reinterpret
on the range 1:6
works similarly as on the dense vector collect(1:6)
:
julia> reinterpret(Float32, UInt32[1 2 3 4 5])
1×5 reinterpret(Float32, ::Matrix{UInt32}):
1.0f-45 3.0f-45 4.0f-45 6.0f-45 7.0f-45
julia> reinterpret(Complex{Int}, 1:6)
3-element reinterpret(Complex{Int64}, ::UnitRange{Int64}):
1 + 2im
3 + 4im
5 + 6im
If the location of padding bits does not line up between T
and eltype(A)
, the resulting array will be read-only or write-only, to prevent invalid bits from being written to or read from, respectively.
julia> a = reinterpret(Tuple{UInt8, UInt32}, UInt32[1, 2])
1-element reinterpret(Tuple{UInt8, UInt32}, ::Vector{UInt32}):
(0x01, 0x00000002)
julia> a[1] = 3
ERROR: Padding of type Tuple{UInt8, UInt32} is not compatible with type UInt32.
julia> b = reinterpret(UInt32, Tuple{UInt8, UInt32}[(0x01, 0x00000002)]); # showing will error
julia> b[1]
ERROR: Padding of type UInt32 is not compatible with type Tuple{UInt8, UInt32}.
reinterpret(reshape, T, A::AbstractArray{S}) -> B
Change the type-interpretation of A
while consuming or adding a "channel dimension."
If sizeof(T) = n*sizeof(S)
for n>1
, A
's first dimension must be of size n
and B
lacks A
's first dimension. Conversely, if sizeof(S) = n*sizeof(T)
for n>1
, B
gets a new first dimension of size n
. The dimensionality is unchanged if sizeof(T) == sizeof(S)
.
This method requires at least Julia 1.6.
Examples
julia> A = [1 2; 3 4]
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2
3 4
julia> reinterpret(reshape, Complex{Int}, A) # the result is a vector
2-element reinterpret(reshape, Complex{Int64}, ::Matrix{Int64}) with eltype Complex{Int64}:

Base.reshape
— Functionreshape(A, dims...) -> AbstractArray
reshape(A, dims) -> AbstractArray
Return an array with the same data as A
, but with different dimension sizes or number of dimensions. The two arrays share the same underlying data, so that the result is mutable if and only if A
is mutable, and setting elements of one alters the values of the other.
The new dimensions may be specified either as a list of arguments or as a shape tuple. At most one dimension may be specified with a :
, in which case its length is computed such that its product with all the specified dimensions is equal to the length of the original array A
. The total number of elements must not change.
Examples
julia> A = Vector(1:16)
16-element Vector{Int64}:

2×3 reshape(::UnitRange{Int64}, 2, 3) with eltype Int64:
1 3 5

Base.dropdims
— Functiondropdims(A; dims)
Return an array with the same data as A
, but with the dimensions specified by dims
removed. size(A,d)
must equal 1 for every d
in dims
, and repeated dimensions or numbers outside 1:ndims(A)
are forbidden.
The result shares the same underlying data as A
, such that the result is mutable if and only if A
is mutable, and setting elements of one alters the values of the other.
Examples
julia> a = reshape(Vector(1:4),(2,2,1,1))
2×2×1×1 Array{Int64, 4}:
[:, :, 1, 1] =
1 3
2 4
julia> b = dropdims(a; dims=3)
2×2×1 Array{Int64, 3}:
[:, :, 1] =
1 3

julia> b[1,1,1] = 5; a
2×2×1×1 Array{Int64, 4}:
[:, :, 1, 1] =
5 3
2 4
Base.vec
— Functionvec(a::AbstractArray) -> AbstractVector
Reshape the array a
as a one-dimensional column vector. Return a
if it is already an AbstractVector
. The resulting array shares the same underlying data as a
, so it will only be mutable if a
is mutable, in which case modifying one will also modify the other.
Examples
julia> a = [1 2 3; 4 5 6]
2×3 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2 3
4 5 6
julia> vec(a)

Base.SubArray
— TypeSubArray{T,N,P,I,L} <: AbstractArray{T,N}
N
-dimensional view into a parent array (of type P
) with an element type T
, restricted by a tuple of indices (of type I
). L
is true for types that support fast linear indexing, and false
otherwise.
Construct SubArray
s using the view
function.
Base.wrap
— Functionwrap(Array, m::Union{Memory{T}, MemoryRef{T}}, dims)
Create an array of size dims
using m
as the underlying memory. This can be thought of as a safe version of unsafe_wrap
utilizing Memory
or MemoryRef
instead of raw pointers.
Concatenation and permutation
Base.cat
— Functioncat(A...; dims)
Concatenate the input arrays along the dimensions specified in dims
.
Along a dimension d in dims
, the size of the output array is sum(size(a,d) for a in A)
. Along other dimensions, all input arrays should have the same size, which will also be the size of the output array along those dimensions.
If dims
is a single number, the different arrays are tightly packed along that dimension. If dims
is an iterable containing several dimensions, the positions along these dimensions are increased simultaneously for each input array, filling with zero elsewhere. This allows one to construct block-diagonal matrices as cat(matrices...; dims=(1,2))
, and their higher-dimensional analogues.
The special case dims=1
is vcat
, and dims=2
is hcat
. See also hvcat
, hvncat
, stack
, repeat
.
The keyword also accepts Val(dims)
.
For multiple dimensions dims = Val(::Tuple)
was added in Julia 1.8.
Examples
Concatenate two arrays in different dimensions:
julia> a = [1 2 3]
1×3 Matrix{Int64}:

Base.vcat
— Functionvcat(A...)
Concatenate arrays or numbers vertically. Equivalent to cat
(A...; dims=1)
, and to the syntax [a; b; c]
.
To concatenate a large vector of arrays, reduce(vcat, A)
calls an efficient method when A isa AbstractVector{<:AbstractVecOrMat}
, rather than working pairwise.

Concatenate arrays or numbers horizontally. Equivalent to cat
(A...; dims=2)
, and to the syntax [a b c]
or [a;; b;; c]
.
For a large vector of arrays, reduce(hcat, A)
calls an efficient method when A isa AbstractVector{<:AbstractVecOrMat}
. For a vector of vectors, this can also be written stack

Base.hvcat
— Functionhvcat(blocks_per_row::Union{Tuple{Vararg{Int}}, Int}, values...)
Horizontal and vertical concatenation in one call. This function is called for block matrix syntax. The first argument specifies the number of arguments to concatenate in each block row. If the first argument is a single integer n
, then all block rows are assumed to have n
block columns.
Examples
julia> a, b, c, d, e, f = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Base.hvncat
— Functionhvncat(dim::Int, row_first, values...)
hvncat(dims::Tuple{Vararg{Int}}, row_first, values...)
hvncat(shape::Tuple{Vararg{Tuple}}, row_first, values...)
Horizontal, vertical, and n-dimensional concatenation of many values
in one call.
This function is called for block matrix syntax. The first argument either specifies the shape of the concatenation, similar to hvcat
, as a tuple of tuples, or the dimensions that specify the key number of elements along each axis, and is used to determine the output dimensions. The dims
form is more performant, and is used by default when the concatenation operation has the same number of elements along each axis (e.g., [a b; c d;;; e f ; g h]). The shape
form is used when the number of elements along each axis is unbalanced (e.g., [a b ; c]). Unbalanced syntax needs additional validation overhead. The dim
form is an optimization for concatenation along just one dimension. row_first
indicates how values
are ordered. The meaning of the first and second elements of shape
are also swapped based on row_first
.
Examples
julia> a, b, c, d, e, f = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Base.stack
— Functionstack(iter; [dims])
Combine a collection of arrays (or other iterable objects) of equal size into one larger array, by arranging them along one or more new dimensions.
By default the axes of the elements are placed first, giving size(result) = (size(first(iter))..., size(iter)...)
. This has the same order of elements as Iterators.flatten
(iter)
.
With keyword dims::Integer
, instead the i
th element of iter
becomes the slice selectdim
(result, dims, i)
, so that size(result, dims) == length(iter)
. In this case stack
reverses the action of eachslice
with the same dims
.
The various cat
functions also combine arrays. However, these all extend the arrays' existing (possibly trivial) dimensions, rather than placing the arrays along new dimensions. They also accept arrays as separate arguments, rather than a single collection.
This function requires at least Julia 1.9.

Apply a function to each element of a collection, and stack
the result. Or to several collections, zip
ped together.
The function should return arrays (or tuples, or other iterators) all of the same size. These become slices of the result, each separated along dims
(if given) or by default along the last dimensions.

Base.permutedims
— Functionpermutedims(A::AbstractArray, perm)
permutedims(A::AbstractMatrix)
Permute the dimensions (axes) of array A
. perm
is a tuple or vector of ndims(A)
integers specifying the permutation.
If A
is a 2d array (AbstractMatrix
), then perm
defaults to (2,1)
, swapping the two axes of A
(the rows and columns of the matrix). This differs from transpose
in that the operation is not recursive, which is especially useful for arrays of non-numeric values (where the recursive transpose
would throw an error) and/or 2d arrays that do not represent linear operators.
For 1d arrays, see permutedims(v::AbstractVector)
, which returns a 1-row “matrix”.
See also permutedims!
, PermutedDimsArray
, transpose
, invperm
.
Examples
2d arrays:
Unlike transpose
, permutedims
can be used to swap rows and columns of 2d arrays of arbitrary non-numeric elements, such as strings:
julia> A = ["a" "b" "c"
"d" "e" "f"]
2×3 Matrix{String}:
"a" "b" "c"
"d" "e" "f"
julia> permutedims(A)
3×2 Matrix{String}:
"a" "d"
"b" "e"
"c" "f"
And permutedims
produces results that differ from transpose
for matrices whose elements are themselves numeric matrices:
julia> a = [1 2; 3 4];
julia> b = [5 6; 7 8];
julia> c = [9 10; 11 12];
julia> d = [13 14; 15 16];
julia> X = [[a] [b]; [c] [d]]

Multi-dimensional arrays
julia> A = reshape(Vector(1:8), (2,2,2))

[:, :, 1] =
1 3
2 4
[:, :, 2] =
5 7
6 8
julia> perm = (3, 1, 2); # put the last dimension first
julia> B = permutedims(A, perm)

[:, :, 1] =
1 2
5 6
[:, :, 2] =
3 4
7 8
julia> A == permutedims(B, invperm(perm)) # the inverse permutation
true
For each dimension i
of B = permutedims(A, perm)
, its corresponding dimension of A
will be perm[i]
. This means the equality size(B, i) == size(A, perm[i])
holds.
julia> A = randn(5, 7, 11, 13);
julia> perm = [4, 1, 3, 2];
julia> B = permutedims(A, perm);
julia> size(B)
(13, 5, 11, 7)
julia> size(A)[perm] == ans
true
permutedims(v::AbstractVector)
Reshape vector v
into a 1 × length(v)
row matrix. Differs from transpose
in that the operation is not recursive, which is especially useful for arrays of non-numeric values (where the recursive transpose
might throw an error).
Examples
Unlike transpose
, permutedims
can be used on vectors of arbitrary non-numeric elements, such as strings:
julia> permutedims(["a", "b", "c"])
1×3 Matrix{String}:
"a" "b" "c"
For vectors of numbers, permutedims(v)
works much like transpose(v)
except that the return type differs (it uses reshape
rather than a LinearAlgebra.Transpose
view, though both share memory with the original array v
):
julia> v = [1, 2, 3, 4]
4-element Vector{Int64}:
1
2
3
4
julia> p = permutedims(v)
1×4 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2 3 4
julia> r = transpose(v)
1×4 transpose(::Vector{Int64}) with eltype Int64:
1 2 3 4
julia> p == r
true
julia> typeof(r)
Transpose{Int64, Vector{Int64}}
julia> p[1] = 5; r[2] = 6; # mutating p or r also changes v
julia> v # shares memory with both p and r
4-element Vector{Int64}:
5
6
3
4
However, permutedims
produces results that differ from transpose
for vectors whose elements are themselves numeric matrices:
julia> V = [[[1 2; 3 4]]; [[5 6; 7 8]]]
2-element Vector{Matrix{Int64}}:
[1 2; 3 4]
[5 6; 7 8]
julia> permutedims(V)
1×2 Matrix{Matrix{Int64}}:
[1 2; 3 4] [5 6; 7 8]
julia> transpose(V)
1×2 transpose(::Vector{Matrix{Int64}}) with eltype Transpose{Int64, Matrix{Int64}}:
[1 3; 2 4] [5 7; 6 8]
Base.permutedims!
— Functionpermutedims!(dest, src, perm)
Permute the dimensions of array src
and store the result in the array dest
. perm
is a vector specifying a permutation of length ndims(src)
. The preallocated array dest
should have size(dest) == size(src)[perm]
and is completely overwritten. No in-place permutation is supported and unexpected results will happen if src
and dest
have overlapping memory regions.
See also permutedims
.
Base.PermutedDimsArrays.PermutedDimsArray
— TypePermutedDimsArray(A, perm) -> B
Given an AbstractArray A
, create a view B
such that the dimensions appear to be permuted. Similar to permutedims
, except that no copying occurs (B
shares storage with A
).
See also permutedims
, invperm
.
Examples
julia> A = rand(3,5,4);
julia> B = PermutedDimsArray(A, (3,1,2));

(Base.OneTo(3), Base.OneTo(4), Base.OneTo(1), Base.OneTo(1), Base.OneTo(1))
julia> promote_shape((2,3,1,4), (2, 3, 1, 4, 1))

Array functions
Base.accumulate
— Functionaccumulate(op, A; dims::Integer, [init])

to use a preallocated output array, both for performance and to control the precision of the output (e.g. to avoid overflow).
Examples
julia> a = [1 2 3; 4 5 6]
2×3 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2 3
4 5 6
julia> cumsum(a, dims=1)
2×3 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2 3
5 7 9
julia> cumsum(a, dims=2)
2×3 Matrix{Int64}:
1 3 6
4 9 15
The return array's eltype
is Int
for signed integers of less than system word size and UInt
for unsigned integers of less than system word size. To preserve eltype
of arrays with small signed or unsigned integer accumulate(+, A)
should be used.
julia> cumsum(Int8[100, 28])
2-element Vector{Int64}:
100
128
julia> accumulate(+,Int8[100, 28])
2-element Vector{Int8}:
100
-128
In the former case, the integers are widened to system word size and therefore the result is Int64[100, 128]
. In the latter case, no such widening happens and integer overflow results in Int8[100, -128]
.
cumsum(itr)
Cumulative sum of an iterator.
See also accumulate
to apply functions other than +
.
cumsum
on a non-array iterator requires at least Julia 1.5.
Examples
julia> cumsum(1:3)
3-element Vector{Int64}:
1
3
6
julia> cumsum((true, false, true, false, true))
(1, 1, 2, 2, 3)
julia> cumsum(fill(1, 2) for i in 1:3)
3-element Vector{Vector{Int64}}:

Base.cumsum!
— Functioncumsum!(B, A; dims::Integer)
Cumulative sum of A
along the dimension dims
, storing the result in B
. See also cumsum
.
Behavior can be unexpected when any mutated argument shares memory with any other argument.
Base.diff
— Functiondiff(A::AbstractVector)
diff(A::AbstractArray; dims::Integer)
Finite difference operator on a vector or a multidimensional array A
. In the latter case the dimension to operate on needs to be specified with the dims
keyword argument.
diff
for arrays with dimension higher than 2 requires at least Julia 1.1.
Examples
julia> a = [2 4; 6 16]
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
2 4
6 16
julia> diff(a, dims=2)

repeat(A::AbstractArray; inner=ntuple(Returns(1), ndims(A)), outer=ntuple(Returns(1), ndims(A)))
Construct an array by repeating the entries of A
. The i-th element of inner
specifies the number of times that the individual entries of the i-th dimension of A
should be repeated. The i-th element of outer
specifies the number of times that a slice along the i-th dimension of A
should be repeated. If inner
or outer
are omitted, no repetition is performed.
Examples

Base.mapslices
— Functionmapslices(f, A; dims)
Transform the given dimensions of array A
by applying a function f
on each slice of the form A[..., :, ..., :, ...]
, with a colon at each d
in dims
. The results are concatenated along the remaining dimensions.
For example, if dims = [1,2]
and A
is 4-dimensional, then f
is called on x = A[:,:,i,j]
for all i
and j
, and f(x)
becomes R[:,:,i,j]
in the result R
.
See also eachcol
or eachslice
, used with map
or stack
.
Examples
julia> A = reshape(1:30,(2,5,3))
2×5×3 reshape(::UnitRange{Int64}, 2, 5, 3) with eltype Int64:
[:, :, 1] =
1 3 5 7 9

julia> g(x) = x[begin] // x[end-1]; # returns a number
julia> mapslices(g, A, dims=[1,3])
1×5×1 Array{Rational{Int64}, 3}:

julia> mapslices(sum, A; dims=(1,3)) == sum(A; dims=(1,3))
true
Notice that in eachslice(A; dims=2)
, the specified dimension is the one without a colon in the slice. This is view(A,:,i,:)
, whereas mapslices(f, A; dims=(1,3))
uses A[:,i,:]
. The function f
may mutate values in the slice without affecting A
.
Base.eachrow
— Functioneachrow(A::AbstractVecOrMat) <: AbstractVector
Create a RowSlices
object that is a vector of rows of matrix or vector A
. Row slices are returned as AbstractVector
views of A
.
For the inverse, see stack
(rows; dims=1)
.
See also eachcol
, eachslice

Base.eachslice
— Functioneachslice(A::AbstractArray; dims, drop=true)
Create a Slices
object that is an array of slices over dimensions dims
of A
, returning views that select all the data from the other dimensions in A
. dims
can either be an integer or a tuple of integers.
If drop = true
(the default), the outer Slices
will drop the inner dimensions, and the ordering of the dimensions will match those in dims
. If drop = false
, then the Slices
will have the same dimensionality as the underlying array, with inner dimensions having size 1.
See stack
(slices; dims)
for the inverse of eachslice(A; dims::Integer)
.
See also eachrow
, eachcol
, mapslices

, isperm
, permutedims
.

Base.isperm
— Functionisperm(v) -> Bool
Return true
if v
is a valid permutation.

julia> isperm([1; 2])
true
julia> isperm([1; 3])

Base.permute!
— Methodpermute!(v, p)
Permute vector v
in-place, according to permutation p
. No checking is done to verify that p
is a permutation.
To return a new permutation, use v[p]
. This is generally faster than permute!(v, p)
; it is even faster to write into a pre-allocated output array with u .= @view v[p]
. (Even though permute!
overwrites v
in-place, it internally requires some allocation to keep track of which elements have been moved.)
Behavior can be unexpected when any mutated argument shares memory with any other argument.
See also invpermute!
.
Examples
julia> A = [1, 1, 3, 4];
julia> perm = [2, 4, 3, 1];
julia> permute!(A, perm);
julia> A
4-element Vector{Int64}:

Base.invpermute!
— Functioninvpermute!(v, p)
Like permute!
, but the inverse of the given permutation is applied.
Note that if you have a pre-allocated output array (e.g. u = similar(v)
), it is quicker to instead employ u[p] = v
. (invpermute!
internally allocates a copy of the data.)
Behavior can be unexpected when any mutated argument shares memory with any other argument.
Examples
julia> A = [1, 1, 3, 4];
julia> perm = [2, 4, 3, 1];
julia> invpermute!(A, perm);

Base.reverse
— Methodreverse(A; dims=:)
Reverse A
along dimension dims
, which can be an integer (a single dimension), a tuple of integers (a tuple of dimensions) or :
(reverse along all the dimensions, the default). See also reverse!
for in-place reversal.

are supported in reverse
.
Base.reverseind
— Functionreverseind(v, i)
Given an index i
in reverse(v)
, return the corresponding index in v
so that v[reverseind(v,i)] == reverse(v)[i]
. (This can be nontrivial in cases where v
contains non-ASCII characters.)
Examples
julia> s = "Julia🚀"
"Julia🚀"
julia> r = reverse(s)
"🚀ailuJ"
julia> for i in eachindex(s)
print(r[reverseind(r, i)])
end
Julia🚀
Base.reverse!
— Functionreverse!(v [, start=firstindex(v) [, stop=lastindex(v) ]]) -> v

, but operates in-place in A
.
