- char.compare_chararrays(a1, a2, cmp, rstrip)¶
Performs element-wise comparison of two string arrays using the comparison operator specified by cmp_op.
- Parameters
- a1, a2array_like
Arrays to be compared.
- cmp{“<”, “<=”, “==”, “>=”, “>”, “!=”}
Type of comparison.
- rstripBoolean
If True, the spaces at the end of Strings are removed before the comparison.

- ValueError
If cmp_op is not valid.
- TypeError
If at least one of a or b is a non-string array
