    fastest. The iterator can also be indexed using basic slicing or
    advanced indexing.

    """A `~astropy.units.Quantity` represents a number with some associated unit.

    See also: https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/units/quantity.html

    Parameters
    ----------
    value : number, `~numpy.ndarray`, `~astropy.units.Quantity` (sequence), or str
        The numerical value of this quantity in the units given by unit.  If a
        `Quantity` or sequence of them (or any other valid object with a
        ``unit`` attribute), creates a new `Quantity` object, converting to
        `unit` units as needed.  If a string, it is converted to a number or
        `Quantity`, depending on whether a unit is present.

    unit : unit-like
        An object that represents the unit associated with the input value.
        Must be an `~astropy.units.UnitBase` object or a string parseable by
        the :mod:`~astropy.units` package.

    dtype : ~numpy.dtype, optional
        The dtype of the resulting Numpy array or scalar that will
        hold the value.  If not provided, it is determined from the input,
        except that any integer and (non-Quantity) object inputs are converted
        to float by default.
        If `None`, the normal `numpy.dtype` introspection is used, e.g.
        preventing upcasting of integers.

    copy : bool, optional
        If `True` (default), then the value is copied.  Otherwise, a copy will
        only be made if ``__array__`` returns a copy, if value is a nested
        sequence, or if a copy is needed to satisfy an explicitly given
        ``dtype``.  (The `False` option is intended mostly for internal use,
        to speed up initialization where a copy is known to have been made.
        Use with care.)

    order : {'C', 'F', 'A'}, optional
        Specify the order of the array.  As in `~numpy.array`.  This parameter
        is ignored if the input is a `Quantity` and ``copy=False``.

    subok : bool, optional
        If `False` (default), the returned array will be forced to be a
        `Quantity`.  Otherwise, `Quantity` subclasses will be passed through,
        or a subclass appropriate for the unit will be used (such as
        `~astropy.units.Dex` for ``u.dex(u.AA)``).

    ndmin : int, optional
        Specifies the minimum number of dimensions that the resulting array
        should have.  Ones will be prepended to the shape as needed to meet
        this requirement.  This parameter is ignored if the input is a
        `Quantity` and ``copy=False``.

    Raises
    ------
    TypeError
        If the value provided is not a Python numeric type.
    TypeError
        If the unit provided is not either a :class:`~astropy.units.Unit`
        object or a parseable string unit.

    Notes
    -----
    Quantities can also be created by multiplying a number or array with a
    :class:`~astropy.units.Unit`. See https://docs.astropy.org/en/latest/units/

    Unless the ``dtype`` argument is explicitly specified, integer
    or (non-Quantity) object inputs are converted to `float` by default.

            versions.

        Generate a string representation of the quantity and its unit.

        This is treated separately because the numpy default of 1000 is too big
        for most browsers to handle.

        Parameters
        ----------
        unit : unit-like, optional
            Specifies the unit.  If not provided,
            the unit used to initialize the quantity will be used.

        precision : number, optional
            The level of decimal precision. If `None`, or not provided,
            it will be determined from NumPy print options.

        format : str, optional
            The format of the result. If not provided, an unadorned
            string is returned. Supported values are:

            - 'latex': Return a LaTeX-formatted string

            - 'latex_inline': Return a LaTeX-formatted string that uses
              negative exponents instead of fractions

        formatter : str, callable, dict, optional
            The formatter to use for the value. If a string, it should be a
            valid format specifier using Python's mini-language. If a callable,
            it will be treated as the default formatter for all values and will
            overwrite default Latex formatting for exponential notation and complex
            numbers. If a dict, it should map a specific type to a callable to be
            directly passed into `numpy.array2string`. If not provided, the default
            formatter will be used.

        subfmt : str, optional
            Subformat of the result. For the moment, only used for
            ``format='latex'`` and ``format='latex_inline'``. Supported
            values are:

            - 'inline': Use ``$ ... $`` as delimiters.

            ``values`` should be shaped so that it can be broadcast appropriately

        axis : int, optional
