Signature de la fonction less

Description

less.__doc__

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

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 becomes the shape of the output).
out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional
    A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have
    a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None,
    a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a
    keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.
where : array_like, optional
    This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the
    condition is True, the `out` array will be set to the ufunc result.
    Elsewhere, the `out` array will retain its original value.
    Note that if an uninitialized `out` array is created via the default
    ``out=None``, locations within it where the condition is False will
    remain uninitialized.
**kwargs
    For other keyword-only arguments, see the
    :ref:`ufunc docs <ufuncs.kwargs>`.

Returns
-------
out : ndarray or scalar
    Output array, element-wise comparison of `x1` and `x2`.
    Typically of type bool, unless ``dtype=object`` is passed.
    This is a scalar if both `x1` and `x2` are scalars.

Examples
--------
>>> np.less([1, 2], [2, 2])
array([ True, False])

The ``<`` operator can be used as a shorthand for ``np.less`` on ndarrays.

>>> a = np.array([1, 2])
>>> b = np.array([2, 2])
>>> a < b
array([ True, False])
