numpy.less¶

numpy.less(x1,x2,/,out=None,*,where=True,casting='same_kind',order='K',dtype=None,subok=True[,signature,extobj]) = <ufunc 'less'>¶

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

Parameters:

x1, x2:array_like Input arrays. Ifx1.shape!=x2.shape, they must bebroadcastable to a common shape (which may be the shape of one orthe other). out:ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must havea shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided orNone,a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as akeyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs. where:array_like, optional Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, valuesof False indicate to leave the value in the output alone. **kwargs For other keyword-only arguments, see theufunc docs.

Returns:

out:ndarray or scalar Output array, element-wise comparison ofx1 andx2.Typically of type bool, unlessdtype=object is passed.This is a scalar if bothx1 andx2 are scalars.
