torch.equal

torch.equal(input, other) → bool

True if two tensors have the same size and elements, False otherwise.

Note

Tensors containing NaNs are never equal to each other. Additionally, this function does not differentiate between the data types of the tensors during comparison. For more thorough tensor checks, use torch.testing.assert_close().

Example:

>>> torch.equal(torch.tensor([1, 2]), torch.tensor([1, 2]))
True
>>> torch.equal(torch.tensor([3, torch.nan]), torch.tensor([3, torch.nan]))
False
>>> torch.equal(torch.tensor([1, 2, 3], dtype=torch.int32), torch.tensor([1, 2, 3], dtype=torch.float32))
True
