Syntax

X != Y

New in version 1.30.22.

or

X <> Y

Arguments

X and Y is a scalar/pair/vector/matrix/set. If X or Y is a pair/vector/matrix, the other is a scalar or a pair/vector/matrix of the same size.

Details

If neither X nor Y is a set, conduct the element-by-element comparison of X and Y; return 1 if the elements in X and Y are not the same.

If X and Y are sets, check if X and Y are not identical.

Examples

$ 1 2 3 != 2;
[1,0,1]

$ 1 2 3 ne 0 2 4;
[1,0,1]

$ 1:2 != 1:6;
0 : 1

$ m1=1..6$2:3;
$ m1;

#0	#1	#2
1	3	5
2	4	6

$ t = table(`A`B`M`B`A`M as sym, 10.1 11.2 11.3 12 10.6 10.8 as val)
$ select * from t where nullIf(sym, `M)<>NULL

sym   val
A     10.1
B     11.2
B     12
A     10.6

$ m1 != 4;

#0	#1	#2
1	1	1
1	0	1

$ m2=6..1$2:3;
$ m2;

#0	#1	#2
6	4	2
5	3	1

$ m1 ne m2;

#0	#1	#2
1	1	1
1	1	1

Set operation: If X!=Y then X and Y are not identical

$ x=set(4 6);
$ y=set(4 6 8);

$ x!=y;
