numpy.equal(x1, x2[, out]) =
Return (x1 == x2) element-wise. Parameters:
x1, x2 : array_like Input arrays of the same shape. Returns:
out : ndarray or bool Output array of bools, or a single bool if x1 and x2 are scalars. See also not_equal, greater_equal, less_equal, greater, less Examples >>> np.equal([0, 1, 3], np.arange(3))
array([ True, True, False], dtype=bool)
What is compared are values, not types. So an int (1) and an array of length one can evaluate as True:
