Description:: Returns whether one value is not equal to another. String comparison is case-insensitive (e.g "STRINGtext" != "stringTEXT" // returns false).
ⓘ
Before Arma 3 v2.00 one was not able to compare Booleans: alive player != true // would throw an error
Groups:: Variables Math

Syntax:: a != b
Parameters:: a: Number, Side, String, Object, Group, Structured Text, Config, Display, Control, Location, Diary Record (since Arma 3 v2.00), Namespace (since Arma 3 v2.00), Boolean (since Arma 3 v2.00)
: b: Number, Side, String, Object, Group, Structured Text, Config, Display, Control, Location, Diary Record (since Arma 3 v2.00), Namespace (since Arma 3 v2.00), Boolean (since Arma 3 v2.00)
Return Value:: Boolean - true if a is different from b

Example 1:: if (_counter != 4) then { hint "The counter is not equal to the number 4"; }
Example 2:: if (vehicle player != player) then { hint "you are in a vehicle"; } else { hint "you are on foot"; }
Example 3:: if (fuel truck1 != 1) then { hint "Truck1 has less than a full tank of fuel."; }
Example 4:: Since Arma 3 v2.00if (alive _unit1 != alive _unit2) then {hint "One of the units is dead while another is alive"};
