less_than

paddle. less_than ( x: Tensor, y: Tensor, name: str | None = None ) → Tensor [source]

Returns the truth value of \(x < y\) elementwise, which is equivalent function to the overloaded operator <.

Note

The output has no gradient.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – First input to compare which is N-D tensor. The input data type should be bool, bfloat16, float16, float32, float64, uint8, int8, int16, int32, int64, complex64, complex128.
y (Tensor) – Second input to compare which is N-D tensor. The input data type should be bool, bfloat16, float16, float32, float64, uint8, int8, int16, int32, int64, complex64, complex128.
name (str|None, optional) – The default value is None. Normally there is no need for user to set this property. For more information, please refer to api_guide_Name.

Returns

The output shape is same as input x. The output data type is bool.

Return type

Tensor

Examples

           >>> import paddle

>>> x = paddle.to_tensor([1, 2, 3])
>>> y = paddle.to_tensor([1, 3, 2])
>>> result1 = paddle.less_than(x, y)
>>> print(result1)
Tensor(shape=[3], dtype=bool, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
[False, True , False])
