Original docstring below.

Parameters

• a (array_like) – The shape and data-type of a define these same attributes of the returned array.

• dtype (data-type, optional) – Overrides the data type of the result.

• shape (int or sequence of ints, optional.) – Overrides the shape of the result. If order=’K’ and the number of dimensions is unchanged, will try to keep order, otherwise, order=’C’ is implied.
