# numpy.greater

`numpy.``greater`(x1, x2[, out]) = <ufunc 'greater'>

  Return the truth value of (x1 > x2) element-wise.

  Parameters : | x1, x2 : array_like Input arrays. If `x1.shape != x2.shape`, they must be broadcastable to a common shape (which may be the shape of one or the other).
  Returns : | out : bool or ndarray of bool Array of bools, or a single bool if x1 and x2 are scalars.

  Examples

      >>> np.greater([4,2],[2,2])
      array([ True, False], dtype=bool)

  If the inputs are ndarrays, then np.greater is equivalent to ‘>’.

      >>> a = np.array([4,2])
      >>> b = np.array([2,2])
      >>> a > b
      array([ True, False], dtype=bool)
