[Numpy-discussion] question about subtraction and shape

[Jonas Wallin]

Hello,

I implemented the following line of code:

Gami[~index0].shape ----> (100,)
sigma.shape             ----> (1,1)
Gami[~index0]  = Gam[~index0] - sigma**2

I get the error message:
*** ValueError: array is not broadcastable to correct shape

apparently
*temp* = Gam[~index0] - sigma**2
*temp*.shape -->  (1,100)

Which seems strange to me is there any reason why *temp* gets this shape ?

mvh
