mindspore.ops.less

mindspore.ops.less(input, other)[source]

Computes the boolean value of \(input < other\) element-wise.

Inputs of input and other 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 one tensor and one scalar, the scalar could only be a constant.

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

Parameters

input (Union[Tensor, Number, bool]) – The first input is a number or a bool or a tensor whose data type is number or bool.
other (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 input and other is not one of the following: Tensor, Number, bool.

Examples

>>> import mindspore
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from mindspore import Tensor, ops
>>> 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]
