@stdlib/strided-dtypes

Data Types

List of strided array data types.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/strided-dtypes

Usage

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

dtypes()

Returns a list of strided array 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/strided-dtypes' );

var DTYPES = dtypes();
var bool;

function isdtype( str ) {
    return ( indexOf( DTYPES, str ) >= 0 );
}

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

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

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

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