python-scipyHow do I create a numpy array of zeros using Python?

Creating a numpy array of zeros using Python is very easy. The numpy.zeros() function can be used to create an array of zeros with a given shape. The syntax for this function is numpy.zeros(shape, dtype=float, order='C'). The shape parameter is a tuple that specifies the dimensions of the array. The dtype parameter is optional and can be used to specify the data type of the array. The order parameter can be used to specify whether the array should be stored in row-major (C-style) or column-major (Fortran-style) order.

Example code

import numpy as np

# Create an array of zeros with shape (2,3)
a = np.zeros((2,3))

print(a)

Output example

[[0. 0. 0.]
 [0. 0. 0.]]

Code explanation

• import numpy as np: This imports the numpy module and assigns it the alias np.
• np.zeros((2,3)): This creates an array of zeros with shape (2,3).
• print(a): This prints the array to the screen.
