numpy.char.greater

char.greater(x1, x2)[source]

Return (x1 > x2) element-wise.

Unlike numpy.greater, this comparison is performed by first stripping whitespace characters from the end of the string. This behavior is provided for backward-compatibility with numarray.

Parameters:

x1, x2array_like of str or unicode

Input arrays of the same shape.

Returns:

outndarray

Output array of bools.
