cupy.empty_like¶

cupy.empty_like(a, dtype=None, order='K', subok=None, shape=None)[source]¶

Returns a new array with same shape and dtype of a given array.

This function currently does not support subok option.

Parameters:	a (cupy.ndarray) – Base array. dtype – Data type specifier. The data type of `a` is used by default. order ({'C', 'F', 'A', or 'K'}) – 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 `a` as closely as possible. subok – Not supported yet, must be None. shape (int or tuple of ints) – Overrides the shape of the result. If `order='K'` and the number of dimensions is unchanged, will try to keep order, otherwise, `order='C'` is implied.
Returns:	A new array with same shape and dtype of `a` with elements not initialized.
Return type:	cupy.ndarray
