zeros_like

sparse.zeros_like(a, dtype=None, shape=None, format=None, **kwargs)[source]

Return a SparseArray of zeros with the same shape and type as a.

Parameters:

  • a (array_like) – The shape and data-type of the result will match those of a.

  • dtype (data-type, optional) – Overrides the data type of the result.

  • format (str, optional) – A format string.

  • compressed_axes (iterable, optional) – The axes to compress if returning a GCXS array.

Returns:

out – Array of zeros with the same shape and type as a.

Return type:

SparseArray

Examples

>>> x = np.ones((2, 3), dtype='i8')
>>> zeros_like(x).todense()  
array([[0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0]])
