This is a sort of confusion I had when I first started writing kernels. _"A 'scalar' is a single (non-array) element! But how come "Scalar functions" accept and produce arrays?"_ But now I understand, even though arrays are passed, the function is applied on each scalar in the array independently. Do you this is something we'd want to explicitly discuss in the doc? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
