Is this a bug?
import numpy as np
a1=np.array(['a','b'])
a2=np.array(['E','F'])
In [20]: add(a1,a2)
Out[20]: NotImplemented
I am trying to do element-wise string concatenation. I thought Add() was the way to do it in numpy but obviously it is not working as expected.
This can be done using numpy.core.defchararray.add. Here is an example:
>>> import numpy as np
>>> a1 = np.array(['a', 'b'])
>>> a2 = np.array(['E', 'F'])
>>> np.core.defchararray.add(a1, a2)
array(['aE', 'bF'],
dtype='<U2')
There are other useful string operations available for NumPy data types.
