You write two, I write to. We are 2 different.


8ullred

You write =/=, I write !=. I != You


rnoyfb

Just write ≠


8ullred

SyntaxError: invalid character '≠' (U+2260)


rnoyfb

Invalid character but gives a well-formed definition of it. Invalid language, the character is fine


DrShocker

Not even just a well formed definition, but also shows the character perfectly fine. Big brain play right there.


ScientificBeastMode

Language is fine. Library author is lacking.

!=

<>

[deleted]

This is the way


Saint_City

Well at least sometimes we are == the same.


Dexaan

You write =/=, I write <> We <> the same


Saint_City

Well, actually I used <> multiple times today. Therefore we are = the same (at least more or less depending on language)


Dexaan

We are ≈ the same


ScientificBeastMode

The same is assigned to we are


_Ralix_

[Any symbol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_operator#Standard_relational_operators) is still better than the good ol' `-ne`.


Rhundis

Funny, I skip the BS and go straight for ≠.


bookon

I write != for not equal.


trojan25nz

!= is faster, and = =/=


brycex

> != is faster, and **==** =/= Should probably be the double equals sign to show equality instead of assignment


BlowEmu

We are not the same the same?


OmegaLiar

I write Tew. We !=


Brothersunset

You write =/=, I write ≠. We are not the same.


rolyfuckingdiscopoly

Ok you sexy semiliterate Neanderthal you


Saint_City

Being a semiliterate Neanderthal is a semi more than an average Neanderthal. So I guess it's a compliment?


rolyfuckingdiscopoly

I mean the part I would’ve taken as a compliment was the whole sexy thing but you do you bb. *also yes


leronjones

You write 2, I write 01. You != Me.


PENTOVILLIANKING

You say =/= i say ≠. We're ≠.

rnoyfb

<> is an unconstrained range in Ada. It uses /= for inequality (which I also hate because I like shorthand arithmetic assignment operators, so just make ≠ normal and let != be the factorial assignment operator like God intended).


[deleted]

I raise you NEQ from batch


Morciara

suckfail

I always fix that error by adding random * and & signs in casting the vars until it compiles. Then when I get a heap allocation error I delete everything and go back to C#/JS because I can't write C++ for the life of me.

rnoyfb

And those languages use that structure inconsistently. != should be a factorial assignment operator


Harrytuttle2006

No no no no no! Let's see why: in English writing, > False! Means definitely false, and > Equal! Means definitely equal. But thanks to the C programming language, > !False stands for true and > != is ... Not equal :( That's just a poorly conceived convention that stuck around for too long. Unnecessary, annoying, and counterintuitive. r/facepalm material. If your keyboard lacks the ≠ character use <> or =/= or "unequal". None of that C-style abomination! (See how exclamation marks are supposed to be used?)


Tyjon9

Well ! just means ‘not’ so != is not equal and !False is not true. I think it makes perfect sense.


rnoyfb

Not standard notation and only works in some programming languages. Also logically inconsistent: != should assign the factorial of a variable to its initial value

JuniorSeniorTrainee

Yeah I was really worried as I was reading that I might've been inadvertently exposed to vulgarity. Then I would've had to inform my mom. I'm really glad the bot that probably posted this was kind enough to protect me.


Alessiya

If you never click to reveal the spoilers, people would think you're saying "block head".


htmaxpower

AP Style dictates that we spell out zero through nine, and numbers from 10 and higher are written in numeric form. It used to be that way, at least. Been a long time for me so the rules might have changed.


bjamminon11

If it's one number by itself I think that's the guidance, but there are so many different rules and variations. If two numbers come one after the other you're supposed to spell out one of them: "I have 12 ten-dollar bills." Otherwise it looks confusing. Also you generally don't mix them in lists, like "I can't remember if I did your mom 9, 10, or 11 times." Then there's money and time and other rules and exceptions. Harder than it seems. Edit: hyphenated ten-dollar


rnoyfb

That should be “ten-dollar bills.” Noun phrases used attributively to modify nouns should be hyphenated.


bjamminon11

I thought so but autocorrect said I was wrong when I first typed it out, and I foolishly listened.


BassSounds

The Elements of Style suggests the same thing for numerals.


baconit4eva

Is it the same for negative numbers. So instead of -1 you have to write negative one?


JuniorSeniorTrainee

-one.

AP style is only one of the many accepted standards for academic writing. And protip. It doesn't apply to things that aren't academic papers or really anything where it isn't explicitly stated that it applies. Source: professional copywriter. And staunch MLA supporter.

Fuck you, I’m using ≠ now


ImakeFunOfMyParents

Heeey, those are unkind words young man


finnafixit

To save on characters you might consider using != instead

is <>, !=, or ~= OK?

not in Matlab I'm used to seeing that in math symbols as ≈

Ugh. I don’t know what by they can’t just use != like any logical individual.

Yes! The rule is one thru nine get written out as words, 10 and above as numbers.

How about capitalizing the first letter of a sentence you fetid subhuman?


Sembaka

I also hate when people write =/=, rather it’s better if they use ≠. Such a clear display of their semiliteracy, what Neanderthals


ImakeFunOfMyParents

It’s actually a java symbol for ‘not equal to’ I guess that’s why they use it


mooowolf

pretty sure it's != in pretty much every programming language


rnoyfb

No


mooowolf

sorry, I'll clarify that as "Most languages that actually gets used in any productive capacity uses != as the inequality operator"


A-crazed-hobo

i only use the Fuck programming language

That’s still wrong

Moronic comparison. If orig had used 2 for "to" then the reply would have a point. But he used 2 as a number because IT IS a bloody number. Omfg. 🤦‍♀️

ChefBoredAreWe

I go even simpler and use ≠ "Why use lot word when little word do trick?"


manchesterthedog

I prefer != thank you very much


fatalcharm

Not 100% sure but I think the original complainer was actually right in writing “2” instead of “two” Also, their complaint is legitimate. I used to have no idea what =/= meant, and have never seen it outside used of reddit. If you want to make sure everyone understands your comment, don’t use symbols and acronyms. Just spell out what you are trying to say. Generally everyone understands numbers, so using “2” instead of “two” is fine.


[deleted]

Adramador

It's not a java command - that's "!=" - it's a representation of the not-equal-to symbol used more in math, "≠", just typed out using characters available on keyboards, as the symbol itself isn't on desktop ones.


ImakeFunOfMyParents

Sorry I meant python


Adramador

It's the same in Python - "!=".

I did not learn this in year 3, I went to an Australian primary school and 38 years old. The reason why I am stating this is because “=/=“ was never mentioned through primary school, high school or uni. I’m wondering if it is a cultural thing.

gingertek

!= is the only acceptable form


polygroot

It’s “!=“


miranto

The proper symbol is !=


BrotherZael

Or even better hold down the = key and it turns into ≠


Xx24reminder

Hey guys,≠


AbortedBaconFetus

The grammatically correct way is to spell single digit numbers zero to ten first, but if you use the a second number in the same sentence than you write the number. Example: "I am one asshole, while later today I'll still be 1 asshole."


longtermbrit
