Data type routines#

Hint

`can_cast`(from_, to[, casting])	Returns True if cast between data types can occur according to the casting rule.
`min_scalar_type`(a)	For scalar `a`, returns the data type with the smallest size and smallest scalar kind which can hold its value.
`result_type`(*arrays_and_dtypes)	Returns the type that results from applying the NumPy type promotion rules to the arguments.
`common_type`(*arrays)	Return a scalar type which is common to the input arrays.
