How would you write "not equals" in shorthand or notation?
Quick question for the coders and those in related fields.
What notation do you first think of for "not equals" or "is not equal to"?
[1] <> (less than, greater than - BASIC style)
[2] != (exclamation mark, equals sign - C style)
[3] ≠ (crossed-out equals sign - algebraic style)
[4] .NE. (ancient FORTAN notation for elder programmers)
[5] ¬ (does anyone use the logical-NOT sign on the PC keyboard? (Except me in smilies?))
[6] A "NOT" gate (from a circuit diagram)
[7] Wikipedia suggests that /= is also a coding notation, but I've never seen it.
[8] Anything else?
