Code #1 :

# Python program explaining
# numpy.common_type() function

# importing numpy as geek
import numpy as geek

gfg = geek.common_type(geek.arange(2, dtype = geek.float32))

print (gfg)

Output :

class 'numpy.float32'

Code #2 :

# Python program explaining
# numpy.common_type() function

# importing numpy as geek
import numpy as geek

gfg = geek.common_type(geek.arange(2, dtype = geek.float32), geek.arange(2))

print (gfg)

Output :

class 'numpy.float64'
