/**
* Copies an input ndarray to a new ndarray having the same shape and data type.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   The function performs a full copy in which an ndarray's underlying data is copied to a new underlying data buffer.
*
* @param x - input array
* @returns output array
*
* @example
* var getShape = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/shape' );
* var getDType = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/dtype' );
* var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/zeros' );
*
* var x = zeros( 'float64', [ 2, 2 ], 'row-major' );
* // returns <ndarray>
*
* var sh = getShape( x );
* // returns [ 2, 2 ]
*
* var y = copy( x );
* // returns <ndarray>
*
* sh = getShape( y );
* // returns [ 2, 2 ]
