get data type for a string, like 'uint8'
npm install ndarray-dtype
Return a data type from a string representing the data type.
Mostly useful for using with ndarray
where you would like instantiate a typed array of the same array.dtype.
This builds on dtype, but includes some ndarray-specific features like 'buffer' (at the expense of increasing bundle size due to including Buffer).

#### arr = dtype(str)
Returns the constructor for the given data type, or undefined if the string type isn't recognized.
Data type | String
--------: | :-----Int8Array | "int8"Int16Array | "int16"Int32Array | "int32"Uint8Array | "uint8"Uint16Array | "uint16"Uint32Array | "uint32"Float32Array | "float32"Float64Array | "float64"Array | "array"Uint8ClampedArray | "uint8_clamped"Buffer | "buffer"ArrayBuffer | "generic"ArrayBuffer | "data"ArrayBuffer | "dataview"
Note: If Buffer isn't exposed globally, using "buffer" returns undefined.
With npm do:
```
npm install dtype
