__lt__

array.__lt__(other: int | float | array, /) array

Computes the truth value of self_i < other_i for each element of an array instance with the respective element of the array other.

Note

For backward compatibility, conforming implementations may support complex numbers; however, inequality comparison of complex numbers is unspecified and thus implementation-dependent (see Complex Number Ordering).

Parameters:
  • self (array) – array instance. Should have a real-valued data type.

  • other (Union[int, float, array]) – other array. Must be compatible with self (see Broadcasting). Should have a real-valued data type.

Returns:

out (array) – an array containing the element-wise results. The returned array must have a data type of bool.

Note

Element-wise results must equal the results returned by the equivalent element-wise function less().
