numpy.obj2sctype() function – Python

numpy.obj2sctype() function return the scalar dtype or NumPy equivalent of Python type of an object.

Syntax : numpy.obj2sctype(rep, default = None)

Parameters :
rep : [any] The object of which the type is returned.
default : [any, optional] If given, this is returned for objects whose types can not be determined. If not given, None is returned for those objects.
Return : [dtype or Python type] Return the data type of rep.
