`!=` (not equal) operator

The non-associating, binary infix != operator is used to test whether its operands are not equal.

Usage

void m(Object x, Object y) {
    Boolean identical = x != y;
}

The != operator is defined as follows:

!lhs.equals(rhs);

See the language specification for more details.

The != operator is polymorphic. The meaning of != depends on the Object class.

The result type of the != operator is Boolean.
