How do I vertically stack NumPy arrays without using the vstack function code example

Example: numpy stack arrays vertically

import numpy as np
# ensure same shape of arrays to be stacked.
a = np.arange(10).reshape(2,-1)
b = np.repeat(1, 10).reshape(2,-1)
# use vstack() to stack by row.
out = np.vstack((a,b))
## print output
print(out)
# a
# b
