dtype2c
Return the C data type associated with a provided data type value.
Usage
var dtype2c = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/dtype2c' );
dtype2c( dtype )
Returns the C data type associated with a provided data type value.
var out = dtype2c( 'float64' );
// returns 'double'
out = dtype2c( 'int8' );
// returns 'int8_t'
If provided an unknown or unsupported data type, the function returns null
.
var out = dtype2c( 'foobar' );
// returns null
