jax.lax.ne

jax.lax.ne(x, y)

Elementwise not-equals: \(x \neq y\).

This function lowers directly to the stablehlo.compare operation with comparison_direction=NE and compare_type set according to the input dtype.

Parameters:

• x (ArrayLike) – Input arrays. Must have matching dtypes. If neither is a scalar, x and y must have the same number of dimensions and be broadcast compatible.

• y (ArrayLike) – Input arrays. Must have matching dtypes. If neither is a scalar, x and y must have the same number of dimensions and be broadcast compatible.

Returns:

A boolean array of shape lax.broadcast_shapes(x.shape, y.shape) containing the elementwise not-equal comparison.

Return type:

Array
