What is the numpy.char.equal() function in Python?
Overview
The char.equal() function in Python is used to check, one by one, if the elements of two arrays of the same shape are equal. It returns True if they are equal. Otherwise, it returns False.
Syntax
char.equal(x1, x2)
Parameter value
The char.equal() function takes two parameter values, x1 and x2, which are two input arrays of the same shape.
Return value
The char.equal() function returns an output array of bools.
Code example
import numpy as np# creating input arraysmyarray1 = np.array(["Theo", "10", "Numpy", "YES", "1", "and"])myarray2 = np.array(["Theo", "100", "numpy", "YES", "1", "and"])# printing the arraysprint(myarray1)print(myarray2)# implementing the char.equal() function on both arrays to see if they are equalprint(np.char.equal(myarray1, myarray2))
Code explanation
- Line 1: We import the
numpymodule. - Lines 4–5: We create the input arrays,
myarray1andmyarray2, using thearray()function. - Lines 8–9: We print the arrays
myarray1andmyarray2. - Line 12: We invoke the
char.equal()function on the arrays to check if all the elements on both the arrays are equal. Then, we print the result to the console.
