mindspore.ops.less

mindspore.ops.less(x, y)[source]

Computes the boolean value of \(x < y\) element-wise.

Inputs of x and y comply with the implicit type conversion rules to make the data types consistent. The inputs must be two tensors or one tensor and one scalar. When the inputs are two tensors, dtypes of them cannot be bool at the same time, and the shapes of them could be broadcast. When the inputs are one tensor and one scalar, the scalar could only be a constant.

\[\begin{split}out_{i} =\begin{cases} & \text{True, if } x_{i}<y_{i} \\ & \text{False, if } x_{i}>=y_{i} \end{cases}\end{split}\]

Parameters

x (Union[Tensor, Number, bool]) – The first input is a number or a bool or a tensor whose data type is number or bool.
y (Union[Tensor, Number, bool]) – The second input is a number or a bool when the first input is a tensor, or it can be a tensor whose data type is number or bool.

Returns

Tensor, the shape is the same as the one after broadcasting,and the data type is bool.

Raises

TypeError – If x and y is not one of the following: Tensor, Number, bool.

Supported Platforms:: Ascend GPU CPU

Examples

>>> x = Tensor(np.array([1, 2, 3]), mindspore.int32)
>>> y = Tensor(np.array([1, 1, 4]), mindspore.int32)
>>> output = ops.less(x, y)
>>> print(output)
[False False True]
