    """
    Given any number of Dataset and/or DataArray objects, returns new
    objects with aligned indexes and dimension sizes.

    Array from the aligned objects are suitable as input to mathematical
    operators, because along each dimension they have the same index and size.

    Missing values (if ``join != 'inner'``) are filled with ``fill_value``.
    The default fill value is NaN.

    Parameters
    ----------
    *objects : Dataset or DataArray
        Objects to align.
    join : {"outer", "inner", "left", "right", "exact", "override"}, optional
        Method for joining the indexes of the passed objects along each
        dimension:

        - "outer": use the union of object indexes
        - "inner": use the intersection of object indexes
        - "left": use indexes from the first object with each dimension
        - "right": use indexes from the last object with each dimension
        - "exact": instead of aligning, raise `ValueError` when indexes to be
          aligned are not equal
        - "override": if indexes are of same size, rewrite indexes to be
          those of the first object with that dimension. Indexes for the same
          dimension must have the same size in all objects.

    copy : bool, default: True
        If ``copy=True``, data in the return values is always copied. If
        ``copy=False`` and reindexing is unnecessary, or can be performed with
        only slice operations, then the output may share memory with the input.
        In either case, new xarray objects are always returned.
    indexes : dict-like, optional
        Any indexes explicitly provided with the `indexes` argument should be
        used in preference to the aligned indexes.
    exclude : str, iterable of hashable or None, optional
        Dimensions that must be excluded from alignment
    fill_value : scalar or dict-like, optional
        Value to use for newly missing values. If a dict-like, maps
        variable names to fill values. Use a data array's name to
        refer to its values.

    Returns
    -------
    aligned : tuple of DataArray or Dataset
        Tuple of objects with the same type as `*objects` with aligned
        coordinates.

    Raises
    ------
    AlignmentError
        If any dimensions without labels on the arguments have different sizes,
        or a different size than the size of the aligned dimension labels.

    ----------
    *args : DataArray or Dataset
        Arrays to broadcast against each other.
    exclude : str, iterable of hashable or None, optional

    -------
    broadcast : tuple of DataArray or tuple of Dataset
        The same data as the input arrays, but with additional dimensions
        inserted so that all data arrays have the same dimensions and shape.

    --------
    Broadcast two data arrays against one another to fill out their dimensions:
