# scipy.linalg.triu

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

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

  Parameters : | m : array Matrix whose elements to return k : integer Diagonal below which to zero elements. k == 0 is the main diagonal, k < 0 subdiagonal and k > 0 superdiagonal.
  Returns : | A : array, shape m.shape, dtype m.dtype

  Examples

      >>> from scipy.linalg import tril
      >>> 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]])
