# numpy.multiply

`numpy.``multiply`(x1, x2[, out])

  Multiply arguments elementwise.

  Parameters: | x1, x2 : array_like The arrays to be multiplied.
  Returns: | y : ndarray The product of x1 and x2, elementwise. Returns a scalar if both x1 and x2 are scalars.

  Notes

  Equivalent to x1 * x2 in terms of array-broadcasting.

  Examples

      >>> np.multiply(2.0, 4.0)
      8.0

      >>> x1 = np.arange(9.0).reshape((3, 3))
      >>> x2 = np.arange(3.0)
      >>> np.multiply(x1, x2)
      array([[  0.,   1.,   4.],
             [  0.,   4.,  10.],
             [  0.,   7.,  16.]])
