Method: Polars::Functions#zeros

Defined in:
lib/polars/functions/repeat.rb

#zeros(n, dtype: Float64, eager: false) ⇒ Object

Construct a column of length n filled with zeros.

This is syntactic sugar for the repeat function.

Examples:

Polars.zeros(3, dtype: Polars::Int8, eager: true)
# =>
# shape: (3,)
# Series: 'zeros' [i8]
# [
#         0
#         0
#         0
# ]

Parameters:

  • n (Integer) —

    Length of the resulting column.

  • dtype (Object) (defaults to: Float64) —

    Data type of the resulting column. Defaults to Float64.

  • eager (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Evaluate immediately and return a Series. If set to false, return an expression instead.

Returns:
