On an element-wise basis, returns 1 if and only if the first value is less than the second.
| Usage | Returns | Array.lt(right) | Array |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: left | Array | The left-hand value. |
right | Array | The right-hand value. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
var empty = ee.Array([], ee.PixelType.int8());
print(empty.lt(empty)); // []
print(ee.Array([0]).lt([0])); // [0]
print(ee.Array([1]).lt([2])); // [1]
print(ee.Array([2]).lt([1])); // [0]
print(ee.Array([-1, 0, 1]).lt([-2, 1, 0])); // [0,1,0]
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
Colab (Python)
empty = ee.Array([], ee.PixelType.int8())
display(empty.lt(empty)) # []
display(ee.Array([0]).lt([0])) # [0]
display(ee.Array([1]).lt([2])) # [1]
display(ee.Array([2]).lt([1])) # [0]
display(ee.Array([-1, 0, 1]).lt([-2, 1, 0])) # [0, 1, 0]
