Data Type Routines¶

`cupy.can_cast`	Returns True if cast between data types can occur according to the casting rule.
`cupy.result_type`	Returns the type that results from applying the NumPy type promotion rules to the arguments.
`cupy.common_type`	Return a scalar type which is common to the input arrays.
