numpy.char.greater_equal#

char.greater_equal(x1, x2)[source]#

Return (x1 >= x2) element-wise.

Unlike numpy.greater_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.
