def polar(a, side="right"):
    """
    Compute the polar decomposition.

    Returns the factors of the polar decomposition [1]_ `u` and `p` such
    that ``a = up`` (if `side` is "right") or ``a = pu`` (if `side` is
    "left"), where `p` is positive semidefinite.  Depending on the shape
    of `a`, either the rows or columns of `u` are orthonormal.  When `a`
    is a square array, `u` is a square unitary array.  When `a` is not
    square, the "canonical polar decomposition" [2]_ is computed.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : (m, n) array_like
        The array to be factored.
    side : {'left', 'right'}, optional
        Determines whether a right or left polar decomposition is computed.
        If `side` is "right", then ``a = up``.  If `side` is "left",  then
        ``a = pu``.  The default is "right".

    Returns
    -------
    u : (m, n) ndarray
        If `a` is square, then `u` is unitary.  If m > n, then the columns
        of `a` are orthonormal, and if m < n, then the rows of `u` are
        orthonormal.
    p : ndarray
        `p` is Hermitian positive semidefinite.  If `a` is nonsingular, `p`
        is positive definite.  The shape of `p` is (n, n) or (m, m), depending
        on whether `side` is "right" or "left", respectively.
