[Numpy-discussion] memory allocation at assignment

Hi All, I am wondering if there any difference in memory overhead between the following code. a=numpy.arange(10) b=numpy.arange(10) c=a+b and a=numpy.arange(10) b=numpy.arange(10) c=numpy.empty_likes(a) c[:]=a+b Does the later code make a temproray array for the result of (a+b) and then copy it
