How would you say does not equal?
Like
if hi == hi: print "hi" elif hi (does not equal) bye: print "no hi"
Is there something equivalent to ==
that means "not equal"?
Python not equal operator returns True if two variables are of same type and have different values, if the values are same then it returns False . Python is dynamic and strongly typed language, so if the two variables have the same values but they are of different type, then not equal operator will return True .
Variables with the same value are often stored at separate memory addresses. This means that you should use == and != to compare their values and use the Python is and is not operators only when you want to check whether two variables point to the same memory address.
You can use the not equal Python operator for formatted strings (f-strings), introduced in Python 3.6. To return an opposite boolean value, use the equal operator ==. Keep in mind that some fonts change !=
Use !=
. See comparison operators. For comparing object identities, you can use the keyword is
and its negation is not
.
e.g.
1 == 1 # -> True 1 != 1 # -> False [] is [] #-> False (distinct objects) a = b = []; a is b # -> True (same object)
Not equal !=
(vs equal ==
)
Are you asking about something like this?
answer = 'hi' if answer == 'hi': # equal print "hi" elif answer != 'hi': # not equal print "no hi"
