## Usage

```javascript
var dtypes2signatures = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/dtypes2signatures' );
```

#### dtypes2signatures( dtypes, nin, nout )

Transforms a list of array argument data types into a list of signatures, where `nin` is the number of input array arguments and `nout` is the number of output array arguments.

```javascript
var dtypes = [ 'float32', 'float64' ];

var out = dtypes2signatures( dtypes, 1, 1 );
// returns [ '(float32) => (float64)' ]

out = dtypes2signatures( dtypes, 2, 0 );
// returns [ '(float32, float64) => ()' ]

out = dtypes2signatures( dtypes, 0, 2 );
// returns [ '() => (float32, float64)' ]
```
