What does <> mean?

vba

I have seen this before in SQL and VB, I am now reverse engineering an Excel speadsheet and have come across the following formula:

 =IF(D23<>0,"Insufficent",0) 

I am converting it to ActionScript:

  var result:String = [condition] ? 0 : "Insufficient";  

but I am unsure of what D23 <> 0 means, is it simply "not equal"?

Logical OR operator: || The logical OR operator ( || ) returns the boolean value true if either or both operands is true and returns false otherwise. The operands are implicitly converted to type bool before evaluation, and the result is of type bool . Logical OR has left-to-right associativity.

Yes, it means "not equal", either less than or greater than. e.g

If x <> y Then 

can be read as

if x is less than y or x is greater than y then

The logical outcome being "If x is anything except equal to y"
