mxnet.ndarray.sparse.CSRNDArray.astype¶

CSRNDArray.astype(dtype, copy=True)¶

Return a copy of the array after casting to a specified type.

Parameters

dtype (numpy.dtype or str) – The type of the returned array.
copy (bool) – Default True. By default, astype always returns a newly allocated ndarray on the same context. If this is set to False, and the dtype requested is the same as the ndarray’s dtype, the ndarray is returned instead of a copy.

Examples

>>> x = mx.nd.sparse.zeros('row_sparse', (2,3), dtype='float32')
>>> y = x.astype('int32')
>>> y.dtype
<type 'numpy.int32'>
