scipp.scalar#

scipp.scalar(value, variance=None, unit=<scipp._scipp.core.DefaultUnit object>, dtype=None)#

Constructs a zero dimensional Variable with a unit and optional variance.

Parameters

  • value (Any) – Initial value.

  • variance (Optional[Any], default: None) – Optional, initial variance, Default=None

  • unit (Union[Unit, str, None], default: <scipp._scipp.core.DefaultUnit object at 0x7f4add16b330>) – Optional, unit. Default=dimensionless

  • dtype (Optional[DType], default: None) – Optional, type of underlying data. Default=None, in which case type is inferred from value input. Cannot be specified for value types of str, Dataset or DataArray.

Returns

Variable – A scalar (zero-dimensional) Variable.
