zeros
null matrix
Syntax
y=zeros(m1,m2,...) y=zeros(x) y=zeros()
Arguments
- x,y
- matrices 
- m1, m2,..
- integers 
- type
- optional character string: 'double', 'boolean','int8', 'uint8', 'int16', 'uint16', 'int32', 'uint32', 'int64', or 'uint64'. 
Description
Returns a null matrix. By default the returned matrix is of double precision floating point type but a given type can be precised in the type argument.
- zeros(m1,m2,..,mn)
- creates a - (m1,m2,..,mn)null matrix.
- zeros(m1,m2,..,mn,type)
- returns a - (m1,m2,..,mn)null matrix with type given by- type. In the case of boolean type the matrix is filled with- %Fvalue.
- zeros(x)
- returns a null matrix with the same size as - x.
- zeros(m1,m2,..,mn,type)
- returns a null matrix with the same size as - xand type given by- type. In the case of boolean type the matrix is filled with- %Fvalue.
- zeros(x)
- is also valid for - xa- syslinlist.
Remarks
- Note that - zeros(3)is- zeros(a)with- a=3i.e it is NOT a 3x3 matrix!
- zeros() is equivalent to zeros(1,1). 
- zeros(3,-3)and- zeros(-3,-3)both return an empty matrix.
|  | repmat(1, sizes)can be used to generate an array of zeros withsizes=[m1 m2 ..]given as a vector. | 
Examples
zeros(3) zeros(3,3) zeros(3,3,"uint8") zeros(3,3,"boolean") zeros(2,3,2) repmat(1, [2 4 2])
