# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-"""Example NumPy style docstrings.This module demonstrates documentation as specified by the `NumPyDocumentation HOWTO`_. Docstrings may extend over multiple lines. Sectionsare created with a section header followed by an underline of equal length.Example-------Examples can be given using either the ``Example`` or ``Examples``sections. Sections support any reStructuredText formatting, includingliteral blocks::    $ python example_numpy.pySection breaks are created with two blank lines. Section breaks are alsoimplicitly created anytime a new section starts. Section bodies *may* beindented:Notes-----    This is an example of an indented section. It's like any other section,    but the body is indented to help it stand out from surrounding text.If a section is indented, then a section break is created byresuming unindented text.Attributes----------module_level_variable1 : int    Module level variables may be documented in either the ``Attributes``    section of the module docstring, or in an inline docstring immediately    following the variable.    Either form is acceptable, but the two should not be mixed.

If \*args or \*\*kwargs are accepted,    they should be listed as ``*args`` and ``**kwargs``.    The format for a parameter is::        name : type            description            The description may span multiple lines.
