what do these signs mean?

[Canadian]

Just wondering.

What does =/= mean? (Not sure if that's the right way)
And what does =! mean? (Not sure if that's the way either)
I see people use them and I sometimes wonder what they mean.

[Cyborgy]

They are the same, used to express does not equal to (bleh).

Mostly used in programming languages as far as I know.

[Paladin]

The opposite of equal.


Example:
Marmite =/= edible

The people who use them have coding experience.

=! // Equal Not/Not Equal

[Canadian]

Thank you guys.

[JimTheGreat]

I think it's != , not =!.

[Dreamer]

It means not equal.

[ThingOfMyth]

Let me google that for you<------CLICK

[[MPGH]Flengo]

I think it's != , not =!.

Both are valid representatives for the statement.

[Dreamer.JR]

Both are valid representatives for the statement.

No, I think for coding if you do =! it will give you an error in some languages.

[Swiftdude]

=! this is used for coding

=/= more commonly used for anything else. mainly math

[[MPGH]Flengo]

No, I think for coding if you do =! it will give you an error in some languages.

Both are the same for everything that it applies to I believe.

Both are the same for everything that it applies to I believe.

Most languages use both, but there are a few that only use != for some reason.
Besides, != makes more sense to me.

[ZeroTroubles]

Here's an example:

X+Y = X+Y
X*Y = XY
Therefore,

X+Y =/= XY

No, I think for coding if you do =! it will give you an error in some languages.

Both are valid.
