# numpy.ndarray.dtype

attribute

ndarray.dtype

  Data-type of the array’s elements.

  Warning

  Setting `arr.dtype` is discouraged and may be deprecated in the future. Setting will replace the `dtype` without modifying the memory (see also `ndarray.view` and `ndarray.astype`).

  Parameters:
    None
  Returns:
    d numpy dtype object

  See also

  `ndarray.astype`

    Cast the values contained in the array to a new data-type.

  `ndarray.view`

    Create a view of the same data but a different data-type.

  `numpy.dtype`

  Examples

      >>> x
      array([[0, 1],
             [2, 3]])
      >>> x.dtype
      dtype('int32')
      >>> type(x.dtype)
      <type 'numpy.dtype'>
