Elementwise multiplication of pandas dataframe

Question

I know this question has been asked several times, but I tried all the anwers and still don't get the right result. I just want to do an element-wise multiplication of two pandas dataframes, but it always results in messing up the structure of the matrix:

x = pd.DataFrame([1,1,1],[2,2,2])
y= pd.DataFrame([0,0,0],[1,1,1])

z= x*y should result in z being

2 0
2 0
2 0

But instead results in z being:

0
1   NaN
1   NaN
1   NaN
2   NaN
2   NaN
2   NaN

What am I doing wrong? I tried pandas.mul and pandas.multiply, but no success.

You should use: print(x*y.values) instead of print(x*y)
