python中dtypes_dtypes。 Python中S1和S2之间的区别

I have two arrays of strings:

In [51]: r['Z']

Out[51]:

array(['0', '0', '0', ..., '0', '0', '0'],

dtype='|S1')

In [52]: r['Y']

Out[52]:

array(['X0', 'X0', 'X0', ..., 'X0', 'X1', 'X1'],

dtype='|S2')

What is the difference between S1 and S2? Is it just that they hold entries of different length?

What if my arrays have strings of different lengths?

Where can I find a list of all possible dtypes and what they mean?

The |S1 and |S2 strings are data type descriptors; the first means the array holds strings of length 1, the second of length 2. The | pipe symbol is the byteorder flag; in this case there is no byte order flag needed, so it's set to |, meaning not applicable.
