I am begginer to numpy and it's possible, this pull request needs some tune up to be completed. I will be very thankfull for all comments and advices.
I wrote some code on issue #1914 to enable calculating .min() and .max of arrays of types 'S' and 'U'.
I've added function _String_Min_Or_Max to methods.c and updated functions
array_min and array_max to handle string ndarrays. One can launch this
functions with arguments - keepdims, out and axis (which can be a tuple
to enable multidimensional reductions). The solution is based
on PyArray_ArgMin and PyArray_Argmax functs, as suggested in issue.
I've also created class TestMax in core/tests/test_multidimensional.py
in which several tests are placed.
