NumPy supports a much greater variety of numerical types than Python does.
This section shows which are available, and how to modify an array's data-type.
-========== ==========================================================
-Data type Description
-========== ==========================================================
-bool_ Boolean (True or False) stored as a byte
-int_ Default integer type (same as C ``long``; normally either
- ``int64`` or ``int32``)
-intc Identical to C ``int`` (normally ``int32`` or ``int64``)
-intp Integer used for indexing (same as C ``ssize_t``; normally
- either ``int32`` or ``int64``)
-int8 Byte (-128 to 127)
-int16 Integer (-32768 to 32767)
-int32 Integer (-2147483648 to 2147483647)
-int64 Integer (-9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807)
-uint8 Unsigned integer (0 to 255)
-uint16 Unsigned integer (0 to 65535)
-uint32 Unsigned integer (0 to 4294967295)
-uint64 Unsigned integer (0 to 18446744073709551615)
-float_ Shorthand for ``float64``.
-float16 Half precision float: sign bit, 5 bits exponent,
- 10 bits mantissa
-float32 Single precision float: sign bit, 8 bits exponent,
- 23 bits mantissa
-float64 Double precision float: sign bit, 11 bits exponent,
- 52 bits mantissa
-complex_ Shorthand for ``complex128``.
-complex64 Complex number, represented by two 32-bit floats (real
- and imaginary components)
-complex128 Complex number, represented by two 64-bit floats (real
- and imaginary components)

Additionally to ``intc`` the platform dependent C integer types ``short``,
``long``, ``longlong`` and their unsigned versions are defined.
