numpy.less

numpy.less(x1, x2[, out]) = <ufunc 'less'>

Return the truth value of (x1 < x2) element-wise.

Parameters:

x1, x2 : array_like

Input arrays. If x1.shape != x2.shape, they must be broadcastable to a common shape (which may be the shape of one or the other).

Returns:

out : bool or ndarray of bool

Array of bools, or a single bool if x1 and x2 are scalars.

Examples

>>> np.less([1, 2], [2, 2])
array([ True, False], dtype=bool)
