numpy.empty() in Python Last Updated : 29 Nov, 2018 Comments Improve Suggest changes Like Article Like Report numpy.empty(shape, dtype = float, order = 'C') : Return a new array of given shape and type, with random values. Parameters : -> shape : Number of rows -> order : C_contiguous or F_contiguous -> dtype : [optional, float(by Default)] Data type of returned array. Python # Python Programming illustrating # numpy.empty method import numpy as geek b = geek.empty(2, dtype = int) print("Matrix b : \n", b) a = geek.empty([2, 2], dtype = int) print("\nMatrix a : \n", a) c = geek.empty([3, 3]) print("\nMatrix c : \n", c) Output : Matrix b : [ 0 1079574528] Matrix a : [[0 0] [0 0]] Matrix a : [[ 0. 0. 0.] [ 0. 0. 0.] [ 0. 0. 0.]] Note : empty, unlike zeros, does not set the array values to zero, and may therefore be marginally faster.
