```python
tensorplay.functional.can_cast(from_, to) → bool
```

described in the type promotion documentation.

Parameters:

- from_ ([dtype](/docs/generated/tensorplay.DType.html#tensorplay.DType)) – The original [tensorplay.dtype](/docs/generated/tensorplay.DType.html#tensorplay.DType).

- to ([dtype](/docs/generated/tensorplay.DType.html#tensorplay.DType)) – The target [tensorplay.dtype](/docs/generated/tensorplay.DType.html#tensorplay.DType).

Example:

```
>>> tensorplay.can_cast(tensorplay.double, tensorplay.float)
True
>>> tensorplay.can_cast(tensorplay.float, tensorplay.int)
False
```
