dpnp.equal

dpnp.equal(x1, x2, out=None, where=True, order='K', dtype=None, subok=True, **kwargs)

Calculates equality test results for each element x1_i of the input array x1 with the respective element x2_i of the input array x2.

For full documentation refer to numpy.equal.

Parameters:
  • x1 ({dpnp.ndarray, usm_ndarray, scalar}) -- First input array, expected to have numeric data type. Both inputs x1 and x2 can not be scalars at the same time.

  • x2 ({dpnp.ndarray, usm_ndarray, scalar}) -- Second input array, also expected to have numeric data type. Both inputs x1 and x2 can not be scalars at the same time. If x1.shape != x2.shape, they must be broadcastable to a common shape (which becomes the shape of the output).

  • out ({None, dpnp.ndarray, usm_ndarray}, optional) -- Output array to populate. Array have the correct shape and the expected data type.

  • order ({"C", "F", "A", "K"}, optional) -- Memory layout of the newly output array, if parameter out is None. Default: "K".

Returns:

out -- An array containing the result of element-wise equality comparison. The returned array has a data type of bool.

Return type:

dpnp.ndarray

Limitations

Parameters where and subok are supported with their default values. Otherwise NotImplementedError exception will be raised.

dpnp.not_equal

Return (x1 != x2) element-wise.

dpnp.greater_equal

Return the truth value of (x1 >= x2) element-wise.

dpnp.less_equal

Return the truth value of (x1 =< x2) element-wise.

dpnp.greater

Return the truth value of (x1 > x2) element-wise.

dpnp.less

Return the truth value of (x1 < x2) element-wise.

Examples

>>> import dpnp as np
>>> x1 = np.array([0, 1, 3])
>>> x2 = np.arange(3)
>>> np.equal(x1, x2)
array([ True,  True, False])

What is compared are values, not types. So an int (1) and an array of length one can evaluate as True:

>>> np.equal(1, np.ones(1))
array([ True])

The == operator can be used as a shorthand for equal on dpnp.ndarray.

>>> a = np.array([2, 4, 6])
>>> b = np.array([2, 4, 2])
>>> a == b
array([ True,  True, False])
