dtypes2strings

Resolve a list of data type strings.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-dtypes2strings

Usage

var dtypes2strings = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-dtypes2strings' );

dtypes2strings( dtypes )

Resolves a list of data type strings.

var DataType = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-dtype-ctor' );

var out = dtypes2strings( [ new DataType( 'float32' ), new DataType( 'float64' ) ] );
// returns [...]

The function accepts the following arguments:

• dtypes: an array of data types.

If the function is unable to resolve a data type string for a provided data type, the corresponding element in the returned array will be null.

var out = dtypes2strings( [ 'foo', 'bar' ] );
// returns [ null, null ]

Examples

var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-dtypes' );
var logEach = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each' );
var dtypes2strings = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-dtypes2strings' );

// Get the list of supported data types:
var dt = dtypes();

// Resolve strings:
var strs = dtypes2strings( dt );

// Print the results:
logEach( '%s => %s', dt, strs );
