List of ndarray data types.

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

Returns a list of ndarray data type strings.

var out = dtypes();
// e.g., returns [ 'binary', 'complex32', 'complex64', 'complex128', ... ]

When not provided a data type "kind", the function returns an array containing the following data type strings:

• binary: binary.
• bool: boolean values.
• complex32: half-precision complex floating-point numbers.
• complex64: single-precision complex floating-point numbers.
• complex128: double-precision complex floating-point numbers.
• float16: half-precision floating-point numbers.
• float32: single-precision floating-point numbers.
• float64: double-precision floating-point numbers.
• generic: values of any type.
• int8: signed 8-bit integers.
• int16: signed 16-bit integers.
• int32: signed 32-bit integers.
• uint8: unsigned 8-bit integers.
• uint8c: unsigned clamped 8-bit integers.
• uint16: unsigned 16-bit integers.
• uint32: unsigned 32-bit integers.

To return the subset of data type strings belonging to a specified data type kind, provide a kind argument.

var out = dtypes( 'floating_point' );
// returns [...]

The function supports the following data type kinds:

• floating_point: floating-point data types.
• real_floating_point: real-valued floating-point data types.
• complex_floating_point: complex-valued floating-point data types.
• boolean: boolean data types.
• integer: integer data types.
• signed_integer: signed integer data types.
• unsigned_integer: unsigned integer data types.
• real: real-valued data types.
• numeric: numeric data types.
• typed: typed data types.
• integer_index: integer index data types.
• boolean_index: boolean index data types.
• mask_index: mask index data types.
• typed_index: typed index data types.
• index: index data types.
• all: all data types.

Additionally, the function supports extending the "kinds" listed above by appending an _and_generic suffix to the kind name (e.g., real_and_generic).

var out = dtypes( 'floating_point_and_generic' );
// returns [...]
