Hi,
I've read the posts on comparing 2 lists and couldn't find the answer to my question.
I have 2 lists
a = [4,3,2,6,7,9]
b = [8,6,3,3,2,7]
How can I determine if the elements in a are larger or smaller than the elements in b.
for i in a:
for u in b:
i > u
does not return the result I seek.
In this example, 4 from a is compared to 8,6,3,3,2,7 then 3 from a is compared to all the elements in b.
I'd like
4 to 8,
3 to 6,
2 to 3 and so on; like 2 columns in excel, the third column would be a new list of boolean values.
Can someone help please? Thank you.
