# numpy.ma.ones_like

ma.ones_like = <numpy.ma.core._convert2ma object>

  Return an array of ones with the same shape and type as a given array.

  Parameters:
    a array_like

      The shape and data-type of a define these same attributes of the returned array.

    dtype data-type, optional

      Overrides the data type of the result.

      New in version 1.6.0.

    order{‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’, or ‘K’}, optional

      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.

      New in version 1.6.0.

    subok bool, optional.

      If True, then the newly created array will use the sub-class type of a, otherwise it will be a base-class array. Defaults to True.

    shape int or sequence of ints, optional.

      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.

      New in version 1.17.0.

  Returns:
    out MaskedArray

      Array of ones with the same shape and type as a.
