dpnp.tensor.can_cast

dpnp.tensor.can_cast(from_, to, /, *, casting='safe') → bool

Determines if one data type can be cast to another data type according to Type Promotion Rules.

Parameters:

• from ({usm_ndarray, dtype}) -- Source data type. If from_ is an array, device-specific type promotion rules apply.

• to (dtype) -- Target data type.

• casting (str, optional) --

  Controls what kind of data casting may occur.

  • "no" means data types should not be cast at all.

  • "safe" means only casts that preserve values are allowed.

  • "same_kind" means only safe casts and casts within a kind, like float64 to float32, are allowed.

  • "unsafe" means any data conversion can be done.

  Default: "safe".

Returns:

• out (bool) -- Gives True if cast can occur according to the casting rule.
