numpy.__array_namespace_info__.default_dtypes

method

__array_namespace_info__.default_dtypes(*, device=None)

The default data types used for new NumPy arrays.

For NumPy, this always returns the following dictionary:

• “real floating”: numpy.float64

• “complex floating”: numpy.complex128

• “integral”: numpy.intp

• “indexing”: numpy.intp

Parameters:

devicestr, optional

The device to get the default data types for. For NumPy, only 'cpu' is allowed.

Returns:

dtypesdict

A dictionary describing the default data types used for new NumPy arrays.
