## np.empty is not np.zeros
|
||||
|
||||
If you are sure that you don’t care about what is inside the matrix in the beginning use
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
M = numpy.empty((DIM_0, DIM_1, DIM_2,...))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Empty claims a region in the memory and uses it for a matrix. Zeros goes one step further. It fills the memory with zeros.
|
||||
|
||||
Thus random junk (i.e. data that was stored prior at that memory position) with be the content of a matrix if you use empty. However, np.empty() is faster than np.zeros().
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import numpy as np
|
||||
M = np.empty((10, 4))
|
||||
print(M)
|
||||
```
