sizeOf
Return the size (in bytes) of the canonical binary representation of a specified numeric type.
Usage
var sizeOf = require( '@stdlib/utils/size-of' );
sizeOf( dtype )
Returns the size (in bytes) of the canonical binary representation of a specified numeric type.
var s = sizeOf( 'int8' );
// returns 1
The following numeric types are supported:
- float64: double-precision floating-point numbers
- float32: single-precision floating-point numbers
- float16: half-precision floating-point numbers
- int32: 32-bit two's complement signed integers
- uint32: 32-bit unsigned integers
- int16: 16-bit two's complement signed integers
- uint16: 16-bit unsigned integers
- int8: 8-bit two's complement signed integers
- uint8: 8-bit unsigned integers
- uint8c: 8-bit unsigned integers clamped to- 0-255
- complex128: 128-bit complex numbers
- complex64: 64-bit complex numbers
Examples
var sizeOf = require( '@stdlib/utils/size-of' );
var s = sizeOf( 'float64' );
// returns 8
s = sizeOf( 'float32' );
// returns 4
s = sizeOf( 'float16' );
// returns 2
s = sizeOf( 'int32' );
// returns 4
s = sizeOf( 'uint32' );
// returns 4
s = sizeOf( 'int16' );
// returns 2
s = sizeOf( 'uint16' );
// returns 2
s = sizeOf( 'int8' );
// returns 1
s = sizeOf( 'uint8' );
// returns 1
s = sizeOf( 'uint8c' );
// returns 1
s = sizeOf( 'complex128' );
// returns 16
s = sizeOf( 'complex64' );
// returns 8
