Usage
expression1 <> expression2
Operands
expression1, expression2
Numbers, Boolean values, or variables.
Description
Operator (comparison); tests for inequality; the exact opposite of the equality (==) operator. If
expression1
is equal to
expression2
, the result is
false
. As with the equality (==) operator,
the definition of equal depends on the data types being compared:
■
Numbers and Boolean values are compared by value.
■
Variables are compared by reference.
Example
The following examples show
true
and
false
returns:
trees = 7;
B = "7";
trace(trees <> 3);// output: 1(true)
trace(trees <> B);// output: 0(false)
