mxnet.np.true_divide

true_divide(x1, x2, out=None)

Returns a true division of the inputs, element-wise.

Instead of the Python traditional ‘floor division’, this returns a true division. True division adjusts the output type to present the best answer, regardless of input types.

Parameters

  • x1 (ndarray or scalar) – Dividend array.

  • x2 (ndarray or scalar) – Divisor array.

  • out (ndarray) – 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.

Returns

  • out (ndarray or scalar) – This is a scalar if both x1 and x2 are scalars.

  • .. note:: – This operator now supports automatic type promotion. The resulting type will be determined according to the following rules:

    • If both inputs are of floating number types, the output is the more precise type.

    • If only one of the inputs is floating number type, the result is that type.

    • If both inputs are of integer types (including boolean), the output is of float32 or float64 type, which depends on your current default dtype. When npx.is_np_default_dtype() returns False, default dtype is float32; When npx.is_np_default_dtype() returns True, default dtype is float64.

Examples

>>> x = np.arange(5)
>>> np.true_divide(x, 4)
array([0.  , 0.25, 0.5 , 0.75, 1.  ])
