Data Types

List of typed array integer data types.

Usage

var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/array/typed-integer-dtypes' );

dtypes()

Returns a list of typed array integer data types.

var out = dtypes();
// e.g., returns [ 'int16', 'int32', 'int8', 'uint16', 'uint32', 'uint8', 'uint8c' ]

The output array contains the following data types:

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.

Examples

var indexOf = require( '@stdlib/utils/index-of' );
var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/array/typed-integer-dtypes' );

var DTYPES = dtypes();

function isdtype( str ) {
    if ( indexOf( DTYPES, str ) === -1 ) {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

var bool = isdtype( 'int32' );
// returns true

bool = isdtype( 'int16' );
// returns true

bool = isdtype( 'uint8' );
// returns true

bool = isdtype( 'beep' );
// returns false
