numpy.empty_like(a, dtype=None, order='K', subok=True)
Return a new array with the same shape and type as a given array.
Parameters: |
a : array_like The shape and data-type of dtype : data-type, optional Overrides the data type of the result. New in version 1.6.0. order : {‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’, or ‘K’}, optional Overrides the memory layout of the result. ‘C’ means C-order, ‘F’ means F-order, ‘A’ means ‘F’ if New in version 1.6.0. subok : bool, optional. If True, then the newly created array will use the sub-class type of ‘a’, otherwise it will be a base-class array. Defaults to True. |

Returns: |
out : ndarray Array of uninitialized (arbitrary) data with the same shape and type as |

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.
>>> a = ([1,2,3], [4,5,6]) # a is array-like >>> np.empty_like(a) array([[-1073741821, -1073741821, 3], #random [ 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],#random [ 4.38791518e-305, -2.00000715e+000, 4.17269252e-309]])
