numpy.copyto

numpy.copyto(dst, src, casting='same_kind', where=True)

Copies values from one array to another, broadcasting as necessary.

Raises a TypeError if the casting rule is violated, and if where is provided, it selects which elements to copy.

New in version 1.7.0.

Parameters

dstndarray

The array into which values are copied.

srcarray_like

The array from which values are copied.

casting{‘no’, ‘equiv’, ‘safe’, ‘same_kind’, ‘unsafe’}, optional

Controls what kind of data casting may occur when copying.

• ‘no’ means the data types should not be cast at all.

• ‘equiv’ means only byte-order changes are allowed.

• ‘safe’ means only casts which can preserve values are allowed.

• ‘same_kind’ means only safe casts or casts within a kind, like float64 to float32, are allowed.

• ‘unsafe’ means any data conversions may be done.

wherearray_like of bool, optional

A boolean array which is broadcasted to match the dimensions of dst, and selects elements to copy from src to dst wherever it contains the value True.
