numpy.char.not_equal

char.not_equal(x1, x2)[source]

Return (x1 != x2) element-wise.

Unlike numpy.not_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, x2array_like of str or unicode

Input arrays of the same shape.

Returns
outndarray

Output array of bools.
