add(x1, x2, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj])
Add arguments element-wise.
Parameters
----------
x1, x2 : array_like
The arrays to be added. If ``x1.shape != x2.shape``, they must be
broadcastable to a common shape (which may be the shape of one or
the other).
out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional
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. A tuple (possible only as a
keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.
where : array_like, optional
Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values
of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone.
**kwargs
For other keyword-only arguments, see the
:ref:`ufunc docs <ufuncs.kwargs>`.
Returns
-------
add : ndarray or scalar
The sum of `x1` and `x2`, element-wise.
This is a scalar if both `x1` and `x2` are scalars.
Notes
-----
Equivalent to `x1` + `x2` in terms of array broadcasting.
Examples
--------
>>> np.add(1.0, 4.0)
5.0
>>> x1 = np.arange(9.0).reshape((3, 3))
>>> x2 = np.arange(3.0)
>>> np.add(x1, x2)
