# torch.get_default_dtype

torch.get_default_dtype() → torch.dtype

  Get the current default floating point `torch.dtype`.

  Example:

      >>> torch.get_default_dtype()  # initial default for floating point is torch.float32
      torch.float32
      >>> torch.set_default_dtype(torch.float64)
      >>> torch.get_default_dtype()  # default is now changed to torch.float64
      torch.float64
      >>> torch.set_default_tensor_type(torch.FloatTensor)  # setting tensor type also affects this
      >>> torch.get_default_dtype()  # changed to torch.float32, the dtype for torch.FloatTensor
      torch.float32
