empty_like(x: array, /, *, dtype: Optional[dtype] = None, device: Optional[device] = None) → array

Returns an uninitialized array with the same shape as an input array x.

Parameters

• x (array) – input array from which to derive the output array shape.

• dtype (Optional[dtype]) – output array data type. If dtype is None, the output array data type must be inferred from x. Default: None.

• device (Optional[device]) – device on which to place the created array. If device is None, the output array device must be inferred from x. Default: None.

Returns
