numpy.find_common_type() function determine common type following standard coercion rules.

Syntax : numpy.find_common_type(array_types, scalar_types)

Parameters :
array_types : [sequence] A list of dtypes or dtype convertible objects representing arrays.
scalar_types : [sequence] A list of dtypes or dtype convertible objects representing scalars.
Return : [dtype] The common data type, which is the maximum of array_types ignoring scalar_types, unless the maximum of scalar_types is of a different kind.

Code #1 :




# Python program explaining
# numpy.find_common_type() function
            
# importing numpy as geek 
import numpy as geek 
        
gfg = geek.find_common_type([geek.float32], [geek.int64, geek.float64])
      
print (gfg)


Output :

float32

 
Code #2 :




# Python program explaining
# numpy.find_common_type() function
            
# importing numpy as geek 
import numpy as geek 
        
gfg = geek.find_common_type([geek.float32], [complex])
      
print (gfg)


Output :
