Syntax
expressionLEFT <>

Description
The <> (Inequality) Operator evaluates two
expressions, compares them for inequality and returns the resulting condition.
The condition is false (0) if the left-hand side expression and the right-hand
side expression are equal, or true (1) if they are unequal.
Example
In a number guessing game, the <>
(Inequality Operator) can be used to check the player's guess with the secret
number:
guess = 0
...
'' <- get number from user and store in
guess
IF(
guess <> secret_number ) THEN PRINT "Sorry, you
guessed wrong. Try again."
...
The
= (Equality) Operator is
complement to the <> (Inequality) Operator, and is functionally identical
when combined with the
NOT (Bit-wise Complement)
Operator:
IF(
420 <> 69 ) THEN PRINT
"( 420 <> 69 ) is true."
IF NOT( 420 = 69 ) THEN PRINT "not( 420 =
69 ) is true."
