metarep.utils.square(x)

Return the square of a single number or a numpy array.

Note by virtue of the 2. (vs. 2) at the exponent, the output value is always a float, or an array of floats, even if the input is an integer (or an array of integers).

Example

>>> square(2)
4.0
>>> square(np.array([1, 2, 3]))
array([1., 4., 9.])

Arguments

xarray_like

Input value(s) to be squared. This can be either a number (int or float) or a numpy array.

Returns

array_like

The squared value(s) of the input.
