Hi,
in that case, you need to create the third column (list). Instead of
values, iterate over indices and use those to fetch the values, ie:
c = []
for i in range(min(len(a), len(b))):
c.append(a[i] > b[i])
or using list comprehension:
c = [a[i] > b[i] for i in range(min(len(a), len(b)))]
tezlo
I finally get it. Thank you so much.
p.s. Thanks Alan and Ricardo.
