# module `concrete.fhe.extensions.zeros` Declaration of `zeros` and `zero` functions, to simplify creation of encrypted zeros. --- ## function `zeros` ```python zeros(shape: Union[int, Tuple[int, ]]) → Union[ndarray, Tracer] ``` Create an encrypted array of zeros. **Args:** shape (Tuple[int, ...]): shape of the array **Returns:** Union[np.ndarray, Tracer]: Tracer that represents the operation during tracing ndarray filled with zeros otherwise --- ## function `zero` ```python zero() → Union[ndarray, Tracer] ``` Create an encrypted scalar with the value of zero. **Returns:** Union[np.ndarray, Tracer]: Tracer that represents the operation during tracing ndarray with zero otherwise --- ## function `zeros_like` ```python zeros_like(array: Union[ndarray, Tracer]) → Union[ndarray, Tracer] ``` Create an encrypted array of zeros with the same shape as another array. **Args:** array (Union[np.ndarray, Tracer]): original array **Returns:** Union[np.ndarray, Tracer]: Tracer that represent the operation during tracing ndarray filled with zeros otherwise
