About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

char2dtype

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Return the data type string associated with a provided single letter character abbreviation.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-char2dtype

Usage

var char2dtype = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-char2dtype' );

char2dtype( [ch] )

Returns the data type string associated with a provided single letter character abbreviation.

var out = char2dtype( 'd' );
// returns 'float64'

out = char2dtype( 'i' );
// returns 'int32'

If provided an unknown or unsupported single letter character abbreviation, the function returns null.

var out = char2dtype( '(' );
// returns null

If not provided a data type string, the function returns an object mapping single letter character abbreviations to data type strings.

var out = char2dtype();
// returns {...}

Examples

var dtypeChar = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-dtype-char' );
var char2dtype = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-char2dtype' );

var chars;
var out;
var i;

chars = [
    dtypeChar( 'float64' ),
    dtypeChar( 'float32' ),
    dtypeChar( 'int8' ),
    dtypeChar( 'uint8' ),
    dtypeChar( 'uint8c' ),
    dtypeChar( 'int16' ),
    dtypeChar( 'uint16' ),
    dtypeChar( 'int32' ),
    dtypeChar( 'uint32' ),
    dtypeChar( 'binary' ),
    dtypeChar( 'generic' ),
    '('
];

for ( i = 0; i < chars.length; i++ ) {
    out = char2dtype( chars[ i ] );
    console.log( '%s => %s', chars[ i ], out );
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
