compare_chararrays(a, b, cmp_op, rstrip)
- Preforms element-wise comparison of two string-arrays using the specified comparison operator.
+ Performs element-wise comparison of two string arrays using the
+ comparison operator specified by `cmp_op`.
Parameters
----------
- a : array_like
- First argument.
- b : array_like
- Second argument.
- cmp_op : "<" or "<=" or "==" or ">=" or ">" or "!="
- Third argument.
+ a, b : array_like
+ Arrays to be compared.
+ cmp_op : {"<", "<=", "==", ">=", ">", "!="}
+ Type of comparison.
rstrip : Boolean
- if True, the spaces at the end of Strings are removed before the comparison
+ If True, the spaces at the end of Strings are removed before the comparison.
