The ndarray.dtype attribute returns the data type of the array’s elements.

This attribute is read-only and cannot be modified directly.

Example

Python3
import numpy as geek      arr = geek.array([[0, 1], [2, 3]])   gfg = arr.dtype   print (gfg) 

Output :

int64

Syntax

Syntax: numpy.ndarray.dtype 

Parameters : None 

Return : [numpy dtype object] Return the data-type of the array’s elements.

How to check the Data Type of NumPy Array Elements

To check the data type of NumPy array elements we use ndarray.dtype attribute of the NumPy library in Python

Let us look at the example to understand it better.

Python3
import numpy as geek      arr = geek.array([  0.,  1.,  2.])   gfg = arr.dtype   print (gfg) 

Output :

float64
