jQuery - how to write 'if not equal to' (opposite of ==)

Question

I need to reverse of the following code. How can I make the animation run if the width is NOT 500px.

$(".image-div").not(this).each(function() {         if ($(this).css('width') == '500px') {             $(this).animate({                     width: '250px'                 }, 500, function() {                 // Animation complete.             });         }       }); 

In other words, what the opposite of this?: ==

Thanks

Answer 1

The opposite of the == compare operator is !=.
