Function greater_equal

numpy/_core/defchararray.py:130–161

Return (x1 >= x2) element-wise. Unlike `numpy.greater_equal`, this comparison is performed by first stripping whitespace characters from the end of the string. This behavior is provided for backward-compatibility with numarray. Parameters ---------- x1, x2 : array_

(x1, x2)
