| 37 | +## Usage |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +```javascript |
| 40 | +var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/zeros' ); |
| 41 | +``` |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +#### zeros( shape\[, options] ) |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Creates a zero-filled [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] having a specified shape and [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes]. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +```javascript |
| 48 | +var arr = zeros( [ 2, 2 ] ); |
| 49 | +// returns <ndarray> |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +var sh = arr.shape; |
| 52 | +// returns [ 2, 2 ] |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +var dt = arr.dtype; |
| 55 | +// returns 'float64' |
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +The specified output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] `shape` may be either an array-like object or an integer value. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +```javascript |
| 61 | +var arr = zeros( 2 ); |
| 62 | +// returns <ndarray> |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +var sh = arr.shape; |
| 65 | +// returns [ 2 ] |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +var dt = arr.dtype; |
| 68 | +// returns 'float64' |
| 69 | +``` |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +The function accepts the following `options`: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +- **dtype**: underlying [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes]. Default: `'float64'`. |
| 74 | +- **order**: specifies whether an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] is `'row-major'` (C-style) or `'column-major'` (Fortran-style). Default: `'row-major'`. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +By default, the function returns an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] having a [`float64`][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes] data type. To specify an alternative [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes], provide a `dtype` option. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +```javascript |
| 79 | +var arr = zeros( [ 2, 2 ], { |
| 80 | + 'dtype': 'float32' |
| 81 | +}); |
| 82 | +// returns <ndarray> |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +var sh = arr.shape; |
| 85 | +// returns [ 2, 2 ] |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +var dt = arr.dtype; |
| 88 | +// returns 'float32' |
| 89 | +``` |
