# transfer(to:) Transfer the contents to the destination multi-array. ``` func transfer(to destinationMultiArray: MLMultiArray) ``` ## Parameters `destinationMultiArray` The transfer destination. ## Discussion Numeric data will be up or down casted as needed. It can transfer to a multi-array with different layout (strides). ```swift let sourceMultiArray: MLMultiArray = ... // shape is [2, 3] and data type is Float64 let newStrides = [4, 1] let destinationMultiArray = MLMultiArray(shape: [2, 3], dataType: .float32, strides: newStrides) sourceMultiArray.transfer(to: destinationMultiArray) ``` ```objc NSArray *shape = @[@2, @3]; NSArray *sourceStrides = @[@3, @1]; NSArray *destinationStrides = @[@4, @1]; MLMultiArray *source = [[MLMultiArray alloc] initWithShape:shape dataType:MLMultiArrayDataTypeDouble strides:sourceStrides]; // Initialize source... MLMultiArray *destination = [[MLMultiArray alloc] initWithShape:shape dataType:MLMultiArrayDataTypeFloat32 strides:destinationStrides]; [source transferToMultiArray:destination]; ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
