## broadcast\_to() {#broadcast_to}

<div class="api-signature">

[`Tensor`](../Tensor.md) **`broadcast_to`**([`Tensor`](../Tensor.md) `input`, [`ClikaRT::Span`](../Span.md)`<const` [`ScalarOrTensor`](../ScalarOrTensor.md)`>` `shape`)

</div>

Alias of [`expand`](./expand.md#expand) under the NumPy name; same broadcasting rules, same view semantics.

**Throws**

- `ClikaRT::Error`: (`INVALID_ARGUMENT`) when a non-1 input dim mismatches its target (`code_name()` carries the reason).

**Returns:** a view of `input` with the requested shape.
