[Python] How to write a vector function to apply operation f(x,y)?

scalar_function can only handle scalar input, we could use the function np.vectorize() turn it into a vectorized function. Note that the input argument of np.vectorize() should be a scalar function, and the output of np.vectorize() is a new function that can handle vector input.

Please write a vector function vector_function, which will apply the operation (,) defined above element-wisely with input vectors with same dimension x and y.
​

So for the scalar, I got :

def scalar_function(x, y):

if x <= y:
return x*y
else:
return x/y


For the vector function I have :

def vector_function(x, y):

vfunc = np.vectorize(scalar_function, otypes = [float])
return vfunc


From here on I am stuck.
