+Ufuncs
+======
+
+Ufuncs or universal functions operate on ndarrays element by element, and support array broadcasting, type casting, and other features.
+
+Lets try and see how we can use the binary and unary ufunc methods
+
+After the neccessary includes ::
+
+  #include <boost/numpy.hpp>
+  #include <iostream>
+  
+  namespace p = boost::python;
+  namespace np = boost::numpy;
+
+Now we create the structs necessary to implement the ufuncs. The typedefs *must* be made as the ufunc generators take these typedefs as inputs and return an error otherwise ::
+
+  struct UnarySquare 
+  {
+    typedef double argument_type;
+    typedef double result_type;
+  
+    double operator()(double r) const { return r * r;}
+  };
+ 
+  struct BinarySquare
+  {
+    typedef double first_argument_type;
+    typedef double second_argument_type;
+    typedef double result_type;
+  
+    double operator()(double a,double b) const { return (a*a + b*b) ; }
+  };
+
+Initialise the Python runtime and the numpy module :: 
+
+  int main(int argc, char **argv)
+ {
+  Py_Initialize();
+  np::initialize();
+
+Now expose the struct UnarySquare to Python as a class, and let ud be the class object. ::
+
+  p::object ud = p::class_<UnarySquare, boost::shared_ptr<UnarySquare> >("UnarySquare")
+    .def("__call__", np::unary_ufunc<UnarySquare>::make());
+
+Let inst be an instance of the class ud ::
+
+  p::object inst = ud();
+
+Use the "__call__" method to call the overloaded () operator and print the value ::
+
+  std::cout << "Square of unary scalar 1.0 is " << p::extract <char const * > (p::str(inst.attr("__call__")(1.0))) << std::endl ; 
+
+Create an array in C++ ::
+
+  int arr[] = {1,2,3,4} ; 
+
+
+..and use it to create the ndarray in Python ::
+
+  np::ndarray demo_array = np::from_data(arr, np::dtype::get_builtin<int>() , p::make_tuple(4), p::make_tuple(4), p::object());
+
+Print out the demo array :: 
+
+  std::cout << "Demo array is " << p::extract <char const * > (p::str(demo_array)) << std::endl ; 
+
+Call the "__call__" method to perform the operation and assign the value to result_array ::
+
+  p::object result_array = inst.attr("__call__")(demo_array) ;
+
+Print the resultant array ::
+ 
+ std::cout << "Square of demo array is " << p::extract <char const * > (p::str(result_array)) << std::endl ; 
+
+Lets try the same with a list ::
+
+  p::list li ;
+  li.append(3);
+  li.append(7);
+
+Print out the demo list ::
+
+  std::cout << "Demo list is " << p::extract <char const * > (p::str(li)) << std::endl ; 
+
+Call the ufunc for the list ::
+
+  result_array = inst.attr("__call__")(li) ;
+
+And print the list out ::
+
+  std::cout << "Square of demo list is " << p::extract <char const * > (p::str(result_array)) << std::endl ; 
+
+Now lets try Binary ufuncs. Again, expose the struct BinarySquare to Python as a class, and let ud be the class object ::
+
+  ud = p::class_<BinarySquare, boost::shared_ptr<BinarySquare> >("BinarySquare")
+    .def("__call__", np::binary_ufunc<BinarySquare>::make());
+
+And initialise ud ::
+
+  inst = ud();
+
+Print the two input lists ::
+
+  std::cout << "The two input list for binary ufunc are " << std::endl << p::extract <char const * > (p::str(demo_array)) << std::endl << p::extract <char const * >   (p::str(demo_array)) << std::endl ; 
+
+Call the binary ufunc taking demo_array as both inputs ::
+
+  result_array = inst.attr("__call__")(demo_array,demo_array) ;
+
+And print the output ::
+
+  std::cout << "Square of list with binary ufunc is " << p::extract <char const * > (p::str(result_array)) << std::endl ; 
+
+}
+
