numpy.isdtype(dtype, kind)[source]#

Determine if a provided dtype is of a specified data type kind.

This function only supports built-in NumPy’s data types. Third-party dtypes are not yet supported.

Parameters:

dtypedtype: The input dtype.
kinddtype or str or tuple of dtypes/strs.: dtype or dtype kind. Allowed dtype kinds are: * 'bool' : boolean kind * 'signed integer' : signed integer data types * 'unsigned integer' : unsigned integer data types * 'integral' : integer data types * 'real floating' : real-valued floating-point data types * 'complex floating' : complex floating-point data types * 'numeric' : numeric data types

Returns:

outbool
