## Usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var modes = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/casting-modes' );
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### modes()
|
|
|
|
Returns a list of ndarray casting modes.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var out = modes();
|
|
// returns [ 'none', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same-kind', 'unsafe' ]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The output `array` contains the following modes:
|
|
|
|
- `none`: only allow casting between identical types.
|
|
- `equiv`: allow casting between identical and byte swapped types.
|
|
- `safe`: only allow "safe" casts.
|
|
- `same-kind`: allow "safe" casts and casts within the same kind (e.g., between signed integers or between floats).
|
|
- `unsafe`: allow casting between all types (including between integers and floats).
