mpi_array.globale_creation.empty_like

mpi_array.globale_creation.empty_like(ary, dtype=None, order='K', subok=True, **kwargs)

Return a new array with the same shape and type as a given array.

Parameters:

• ary (numpy.ndarray) – Copy attributes from this array.
• dtype (numpy.dtype) – Specifies different dtype for the returned array.
• order ('C', 'F', 'A', or 'K') – Only 'K' implemented. Overrides the memory layout of the result. 'C' means C-order, 'F' means F-order, 'A' means 'F' if a is Fortran contiguous, 'C' otherwise. 'K' means match the layout of ary as closely as possible.
• subok (bool) – Ignored. If True, then the newly created array will use the sub-class type of ary, otherwise it will be a base-class array. Defaults to True.

Return type:

type(ary)

Returns:

Array of uninitialized (arbitrary) data with the same shape and type as ary.
