Constructors
Array constructors.
Usage
var ctors = require( '@stdlib/array/ctors' );
ctors( dtype )
Returns an array constructor for a specified data type.
var ctor = ctors( 'float64' );
// returns <Function>
The function returns constructors for the following data types:
float32: single-precision floating-point numbers.float64: double-precision floating-point numbers.complex64: single-precision complex floating-point numbers.complex128: double-precision complex floating-point numbers.bool: boolean values.generic: values of any type.int16: signed 16-bit integers.int32: signed 32-bit integers.int8: signed 8-bit integers.uint16: unsigned 16-bit integers.uint32: unsigned 32-bit integers.uint8: unsigned 8-bit integers.uint8c: unsigned clamped 8-bit integers.
If provided an unknown or unsupported data type, the function returns null.
var ctor = ctors( 'float' );
// returns null
Examples
var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/array/dtypes' );
var ctors = require( '@stdlib/array/ctors' );
var DTYPES = dtypes();
var ctor;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < DTYPES.length; i++ ) {
ctor = ctors( DTYPES[ i ] );
console.log( ctor );
}
