An empty array is just uninitialized, while a zeros array is initialized to zeros. Short of checking whether the zeros array is all zeros, which only tells you that it looks like it was coming from zeros; it still could have created by by empty or zeros or some other method. Why do you need to know? If the array is coming from an unknown source, why not just use a.fill(0) to force everything to be zero and start from a known state? > > > Thanks > Andy > > _______________________________________________ > Numpy-discussion mailing list > Numpy-discussion@scipy.org > http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion > -- . __ . |-\ . .
