python-scipyHow do I create an array of zeros with the same shape as an existing array using Python and NumPy?
Creating an array of zeros with the same shape as an existing array using Python and NumPy is easy. To do this, you can use the np.zeros_like
function. This function takes an existing array and creates a new array filled with zeros that has the same shape as the existing array.
For example:
import numpy as np
arr = np.array([[1,2,3],
[4,5,6]])
arr_zeros = np.zeros_like(arr)
print(arr_zeros)
Output example
[[0 0 0]
[0 0 0]]
The code above creates an array arr
with shape (2,3)
and then creates a new array arr_zeros
with the same shape as arr
filled with zeros.
Code explanation
import numpy as np
: Imports the NumPy library asnp
.arr = np.array([[1,2,3], [4,5,6]])
: Creates an arrayarr
with shape(2,3)
.arr_zeros = np.zeros_like(arr)
: Creates a new arrayarr_zeros
with the same shape asarr
filled with zeros.print(arr_zeros)
: Prints the new array.
