# numpy.matlib.zeros

matlib.zeros(shape, dtype=None, order='C')

  Return a matrix of given shape and type, filled with zeros.

  Parameters:
    shape int or sequence of ints

      Shape of the matrix

    dtype data-type, optional

      The desired data-type for the matrix, default is float.

    order{‘C’, ‘F’}, optional

      Whether to store the result in C- or Fortran-contiguous order, default is ‘C’.

  Returns:
    out matrix

      Zero matrix of given shape, dtype, and order.

  `numpy.zeros`

    Equivalent array function.

  `matlib.ones`

    Return a matrix of ones.

  Notes

  If `shape` has length one i.e. `(N,)`, or is a scalar `N`, out becomes a single row matrix of shape `(1,N)`.

  Examples

      >>> import numpy.matlib
      >>> np.matlib.zeros((2, 3))
      matrix([[0.,  0.,  0.],
              [0.,  0.,  0.]])

      >>> np.matlib.zeros(2)
      matrix([[0.,  0.]])
