numpy.sctype2char(sctype)[source]¶
Return the string representation of a scalar dtype.
| Parameters: | sctype : scalar dtype or object If a scalar dtype, the corresponding string character is returned. If an object, sctype2char tries to infer its scalar type and then return the corresponding string character. |
|---|---|
| Returns: | typechar : str The string character corresponding to the scalar type. |
| Raises: | ValueError If sctype is an object for which the type can not be inferred. |
Examples
for sctype in [np.int32, np.float, np.complex, np.string_, np.ndarray]: ... print(np.sctype2char(sctype)) l d D S O
x = np.array([1., 2-1.j]) np.sctype2char(x) 'D' np.sctype2char(list) 'O'
