List of array data types.
var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/array/dtypes' );Returns a list of array data types.
var out = dtypes();
// returns [ 'float32', 'float64', 'generic', 'int16', 'int32', 'int8', 'uint16', 'uint32', 'uint8', 'uint8c' ]The output array contains the following data types:
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.
