closest_valid_dtype#

ivy.closest_valid_dtype(type, /)[source]#

Determine the closest valid datatype to the datatype passed as input.

Parameters:: type (Optional[Union[Dtype, str]]) – The data type for which to check the closest valid type for.
Return type:: Union[Dtype, str]
Returns:: ret – The closest valid data type as a native ivy.Dtype

Examples

With ivy.Dtype input:

>>> xType = ivy.float16
>>> yType = ivy.closest_valid_dtype(xType)
>>> print(yType)
float16

With ivy.NativeDtype inputs:

>>> xType = ivy.native_uint16
>>> yType = ivy.closest_valid_dtype(xType)
>>> print(yType)
uint16

With str input:

>>> xType = 'int32'
>>> yType = ivy.closest_valid_dtype(xType)
>>> print(yType)
int32
