dask.array.empty_like
dask.array.empty_like¶
- dask.array.empty_like(a, dtype=None, order='C', chunks=None, name=None, shape=None)[source]¶
Return a new array with the same shape and type as a given array.
- Parameters
- aarray_like
The shape and data-type of a define these same attributes of the returned array.
- dtypedata-type, optional
Overrides the data type of the result.
- order{‘C’, ‘F’}, optional
Whether to store multidimensional data in C- or Fortran-contiguous (row- or column-wise) order in memory.
- chunkssequence of ints
The number of samples on each block. Note that the last block will have fewer samples if
len(array) % chunks != 0.- namestr, optional
An optional keyname for the array. Defaults to hashing the input keyword arguments.
- shapeint or sequence of ints, optional.
Overrides the shape of the result.
- Returns
- outndarray
Array of uninitialized (arbitrary) data with the same shape and type as a.

ones_likeReturn an array of ones with shape and type of input.
zeros_likeReturn an array of zeros with shape and type of input.
emptyReturn a new uninitialized array.
onesReturn a new array setting values to one.
zerosReturn a new array setting values to zero.
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.
