Fix Python – Test if numpy array contains only zeros

by

Question

Asked By – IUnknown

We initialize a numpy array with zeros as bellow:

np.zeros((N,N+1))

But how do we check whether all elements in a given n*n numpy array matrix is zero.
The method just need to return a True if all the values are indeed zero.

Now we will see solution for issue: Test if numpy array contains only zeros

Answer

Check out numpy.count_nonzero.

>>> np.count_nonzero(np.eye(4))
4
>>> np.count_nonzero([[0,1,7,0,0],[3,0,0,2,19]])
5
