numpy.can_cast

numpy.can_cast(from, totype, casting = 'safe')

Returns True if cast between data types can occur according to the casting rule. If from is a scalar or array scalar, also returns True if the scalar value can be cast without overflow or truncation to an integer.

Parameters:

from : dtype, dtype specifier, scalar, or array

Data type, scalar, or array to cast from.

totype : dtype or dtype specifier

Data type to cast to.

casting : {‘no’, ‘equiv’, ‘safe’, ‘same_kind’, ‘unsafe’}, optional

Controls what kind of data casting may occur.

  • ‘no’ means the
