[Numpy-discussion] float32 to float64 casting

[Gökhan Sever]

Hello,

Could someone briefly explain why are these two operations are casting my
float32 arrays to float64?

I1 (np.arange(5, dtype='float32')).dtype
O1 dtype('float32')

I2 (100000*np.arange(5, dtype='float32')).dtype
O2 dtype('float64')



I3 (np.arange(5, dtype='float32')[0]).dtype
O3 dtype('float32')

I4 (1*np.arange(5, dtype='float32')[0]).dtype
O4 dtype('float64')



Thanks.
