If provided adtype argument, returns a list of arraydata types to which a provided arraydata type can be safely cast and, for floating-point data types, can be downcast.

varout=mostlySafeCasts('float32');// e.g., returns [ 'float32', 'float64', ... ]

If not provided adtype argument, the function returns a casting table.

varout=mostlySafeCasts();// returns {...}varf32=out['float32'];// returns {...}varv=f32['float64'];// returns 1

If provided an unrecognized or unsupporteddtype, the function returnsnull.

varout=mostlySafeCasts('foo');// returns null

• @stdlib/array-convert:convert an array to an array of a different data type.
• @stdlib/array-convert-same:convert an array to the same data type as a second input array.
• @stdlib/array-dtypes:list of array data types.
• @stdlib/array-safe-casts:return a list of array data types to which a provided array data type can be safely cast.
• @stdlib/array-same-kind-casts:return a list of array data types to which a provided array data type can be safely cast or cast within the same kind.
• @stdlib/ndarray-mostly-safe-casts:return a list of ndarray data types to which a provided ndarray data type can be safely cast and, for floating-point data types, can be downcast.

This package is part ofstdlib, a standard library with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
