Export assignment sizeOf

• sizeOf(dtype: string): number

• Returns the size (in bytes) of the canonical binary representation of a specified numeric type.

  Notes

  The following numeric types are supported:

  • float64: double-precision floating-point numbers
  • float32: single-precision floating-point numbers
  • float16: half-precision floating-point numbers
  • int32: 32-bit two's complement signed integers
  • uint32: 32-bit unsigned integers
  • int16: 16-bit two's complement signed integers
  • uint16: 16-bit unsigned integers
  • int8: 8-bit two's complement signed integers
  • uint8: 8-bit unsigned integers
  • uint8c: 8-bit unsigned integers clamped to 0-255
  • complex128: 128-bit complex numbers
  • complex64: 64-bit complex numbers

  Parameters

  • dtype: string

    numeric type

  Returns number

  size in bytes

  Example

  var s = sizeOf( 'int8' );
  // returns 1

  Example

  var s = sizeOf( 'uint8' );
  // returns 1

  Example

  var s = sizeOf( 'int16' );
  // returns 2
