     37 ## Usage
     38 
     39 ```javascript
     40 var convertArray = require( '@stdlib/array/convert' );
     41 ```
     42 
     43 #### convertArray( arr, dtype )
     44 
     45 Converts an `array` to an array of a different data type.
     46 
     47 ```javascript
     48 var arr = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ];
     49 var out = convertArray( arr, 'float32' );
     50 // returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ]
     51 ```
     52 
     53 The function supports the following data types:
     54 
     55 -   `float32`: single-precision floating-point numbers.
     56 -   `float64`: double-precision floating-point numbers.
     57 -   `generic`: values of any type.
     58 -   `int16`: signed 16-bit integers.
     59 -   `int32`: signed 32-bit integers.
     60 -   `int8`: signed 8-bit integers.
     61 -   `uint16`: unsigned 16-bit integers.
     62 -   `uint32`: unsigned 32-bit integers.
     63 -   `uint8`: unsigned 8-bit integers.
     64 -   `uint8c`: unsigned clamped 8-bit integers.
