         self: array
-            array instance. Should have a real-valued data type. Must have at least one dimension. If ``self`` is one-dimensional having shape ``(M,)`` and ``other`` has more than one dimension, ``self`` must be promoted to a two-dimensional array by prepending ``1`` to its dimensions (i.e., must have shape ``(1, M)``). After matrix multiplication, the prepended dimensions in the returned array must be removed. If ``self`` has more than one dimension (including after vector-to-matrix promotion), ``shape(self)[:-2]`` must be compatible with ``shape(other)[:-2]`` (after vector-to-matrix promotion) (see :ref:`broadcasting`). If ``self`` has shape ``(..., M, K)``, the innermost two dimensions form matrices on which to perform matrix multiplication.
