Indexed update operators
------------------------
JAX is intended to be used with a functional style of programming, and hence
does not support NumPy-style indexed assignment directly. Instead, JAX provides
pure alternatives, namely :func:`jax.ops.index_update` and its relatives.
.. autosummary::
:toctree: _autosummary
index
index_update
index_add
index_mul
index_min
index_max
Syntactic sugar for indexed update operators
--------------------------------------------
JAX also provides an alternate syntax for these indexed update operators.
Specifically, JAX ndarray types have a property ``at``, which can be used as
follows (where ``idx`` can be an arbitrary index expression).
==================== ===================================================
Alternate syntax Equivalent expression
==================== ===================================================
``x.at[idx].set(y)`` ``jax.ops.index_update(x, jax.ops.index[idx], y)``
``x.at[idx].add(y)`` ``jax.ops.index_add(x, jax.ops.index[idx], y)``
``x.at[idx].mul(y)`` ``jax.ops.index_mul(x, jax.ops.index[idx], y)``
``x.at[idx].min(y)`` ``jax.ops.index_min(x, jax.ops.index[idx], y)``
``x.at[idx].max(y)`` ``jax.ops.index_max(x, jax.ops.index[idx], y)``
==================== ===================================================
Note that none of these expressions modify the original `x`; instead they return
a modified copy of `x`.
