turn an array of zeros with shape and type of input. full_like : Return a new array with shape of input filled with value. empty : Return a new uninitialized array. Notes ----- This function does *not* initialize the returned array; to do that use `zeros_like` or `ones_like` instead. It may be marginally faster than the functions that do set the array values. Examples -------- >>> a = ([1,2,3], [4,5,6]) # a is array-like >>> np.empty_like(a) array([[-1073741821, -1073741821, 3], # uninitialized [ 0, 0, -1073741821]]) >>> a = np.array([[1., 2., 3.],[4.,5.,6.]]) >>> np.empty_like(a) array([[ -2.00000715e+000, 1.48219694e-323, -2.00000572e+000], # uninitialized [ 4.38791518e-305, -2.00000715e+000, 4.17269252e-309]]) ©
