numpy.finfo() function shows machine limits for floating point types.
Syntax : numpy.finfo(dtype) Parameters : dtype : [float, dtype, or instance] Kind of floating point data-type about which to get information. Return : Machine parameters for floating point types.
Code #1 : Python3
# Python program explaining
# numpy.finfo() function
         
# importing numpy as geek 
import numpy as geek 
     
gfg = geek.finfo(geek.float32)
   
print (gfg)
Output :
Machine parameters for float32
