Examples

>>> import numpy.ma as ma
>>> x = [11.2, -3.973, 0.801, -1.41]
>>> mask = [0, 0, 0, 1]
>>> masked_x = ma.masked_array(x, mask)
>>> masked_x
masked_array(data=[11.2, -3.973, 0.801, --],
         mask=[False, False, False,  True],
   fill_value=1e+20)
>>> ma.power(masked_x, 2)

         mask=[False, False, False,  True],
   fill_value=1e+20)
>>> y = [-0.5, 2, 0, 17]
