The correct answer is False.
A ufunc is a function that operates on multiple elements of an array at the same time. It is a built-in function in NumPy that can be used to perform operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Output arguments are arguments that are passed to a function and are modified by the function. In the case of ufuncs, output arguments are not allowed. This is because ufuncs are designed to operate on multiple elements of an array at the same time. If output arguments were allowed, it would be difficult to determine which element of the array was being modified by the function.
For example, consider the following ufunc:
“`
add(1, 2)
3
“`
In this example, the ufunc add takes two arguments, 1 and 2, and returns the sum of these arguments, which is 3. If add were allowed to take output arguments, it could be written as follows:
“`
add(1, 2, out=result)
result
3
“`
In this example, the ufunc add would take three arguments, 1, 2, and result. The first two arguments would be used to calculate the sum, and the third argument would be modified to store the result of the calculation. However, this would be difficult to interpret, as it would be unclear which element of the array result was being modified by the function.
Therefore, output arguments are not allowed for ufuncs.
