Extended Summary

Constructs an n-by-n Hadamard matrix, using Sylvester's construction. n must be a power of 2.

Parameters

n : int: The order of the matrix. n must be a power of 2.
dtype : dtype, optional: The data type of the array to be constructed.

Returns

H : (n, n) ndarray: The Hadamard matrix.
