Data Types

List of strided array data types.

Usage

var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/strided/dtypes' );

dtypes()

Returns a list of strided array data types.

var out = dtypes();
// e.g., returns [ 'binary', 'bool', 'complex64', ... ]

The output array contains the following data types:

  • binary: binary.
  • bool: boolean values.
  • 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 contains = require( '@stdlib/array/base/assert/contains' ).factory;
var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/strided/dtypes' );

var isdtype = contains( dtypes() );

var bool = isdtype( 'float64' );
// returns true

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

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

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