Data Types
List of ndarray data types.
Usage
var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes' );
dtypes()
Returns a list of ndarray data types.
var out = dtypes();
// returns [ 'binary', 'complex64', 'complex128', 'float32', 'float64', 'generic', 'int16', 'int32', 'int8', 'uint16', 'uint32', 'uint8', 'uint8c' ]
The output array contains the following data types:
binary: binary.complex64: single-precision complex floating-point numbers.complex128: double-precision complex floating-point numbers.float32: single-precision floating-point numbers.float64: double-precision floating-point numbers.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.
Examples
var indexOf = require( '@stdlib/utils/index-of' );
var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes' );
var DTYPES = dtypes();
var bool;
function isdtype( str ) {
if ( indexOf( DTYPES, str ) === -1 ) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
bool = isdtype( 'float64' );
// returns true
bool = isdtype( 'int16' );
// returns true
bool = isdtype( 'uint8' );
// returns true
bool = isdtype( 'beep' );
// returns false
