Package Exports

@stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like
@stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like/lib/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

zerosLike

Create a zero-filled ndarray having the same shape and data type as a provided ndarray.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like

Usage

var zerosLike = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like' );

zerosLike( x[, options] )

Creates a zero-filled ndarray having the same shape and data type as a provided ndarray.

var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros' );

var x = zeros( [ 2, 2 ] );
// returns <ndarray>

var y = zerosLike( x );
// returns <ndarray>

var sh = y.shape;
// returns [ 2, 2 ]

var dt = y.dtype;
// returns 'float64'

The function supports the following options:

dtype: output ndarray data type. Overrides the input ndarray's inferred data type.
shape: output ndarray shape. Overrides the input ndarray's inferred shape.
order: specifies whether the output ndarray should be 'row-major' (C-style) or 'column-major' (Fortran-style). Overrides the input ndarray's inferred order.

To override either the dtype, shape, or order, specify the corresponding option. For example, to override the inferred data type,

var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros' );

var x = zeros( [ 2, 2 ] );
// returns <ndarray>

var dt = x.dtype;
// returns 'float64'

var y = zerosLike( x, {
    'dtype': 'int32'
});
// returns <ndarray>

var sh = y.shape;
// returns [ 2, 2 ]

dt = y.dtype;
// returns 'int32'

Examples

var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-dtypes' );
var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros' );
var zerosLike = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like' );

// Get a list of data types:
var dt = dtypes();

// Generate zero-filled arrays...
var x;
var y;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < dt.length; i++ ) {
    x = zeros( [ 2, 2 ], {
        'dtype': dt[ i ]
    });
    y = zerosLike( x );
    console.log( y.data );
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
