Function equal

numpy/_core/defchararray.py:62–92

Return (x1 == x2) element-wise. Unlike `numpy.equal`, 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, x2 : array_like of str

(x1, x2)

    Parameters
    ----------
    x1, x2 : array_like of str or unicode
        Input arrays of the same shape.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        Output array of bools.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> y = "aa "
