+
+    -   array instance.
+
+-   **key**: _Union\[ int, slice, Tuple\[ Union\[ int, slice ], ... ], <array> ]_

+-   **out**: _<array>_
+
+    -   an array containing the accessed value(s). The returned array must have the same data type as `x`.

 -   A zero-dimensional boolean index array (equivalent to `True` or `False`) must follow the same axis replacement rules stated above. Namely, a zero-dimensional boolean index array removes zero dimensions and adds a single dimension of length `1` if the index array's value is `True` and of length `0` if the index array's value is `False`. Accordingly, for a zero-dimensional boolean index array `B`, the result of `A[B]` has shape `S = (1, s1, ..., sN)` if the index array's value is `True` and has shape `S = (0, s1, ..., sN)` if the index array's value is `False`.
