# scipy.linalg.triu

`scipy.linalg.``triu`(m, k=0)

  Make a copy of a matrix with elements below the k-th diagonal zeroed.

  Parameters: | m : array_like Matrix whose elements to return k : int, optional Diagonal below which to zero elements. k == 0 is the main diagonal, k < 0 subdiagonal and k > 0 superdiagonal.
  Returns: | triu : ndarray Return matrix with zeroed elements below the k-th diagonal and has same shape and type as m.

  Examples

      >>> from scipy.linalg import triu
      >>> triu([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9],[10,11,12]], -1)
      array([[ 1,  2,  3],
             [ 4,  5,  6],
             [ 0,  8,  9],
             [ 0,  0, 12]])
