What field uses
=/=
to mean!=
?!= isn't universal, i've mostly seen it used in programming.
Otherwise ≠ is the symbol we use in maths and generally the more common one.
=/= is just the worst rendition of ≠ for people that don't know how to write it or are too lazy to go find it.
Yeah =/= is honestly a little confusing. I know
!=
isn't universal though, gotta start making sure to use≠
insteadYou're definite not wrong, I actually went to use "!=" first. But then thought if someone wasn't familiar with programming they might not get it, so I went with the "=/=" hoping it would make sense to more people. Forgot that we're on lemmy and the audience here would generally understand lol. Didn't know ≠ existed though, will probably use that from now on. Nice!
Have you heard of our Lord and Saviour, APL?
It's a shorthand way of writing ≠ digitally without needing to know the alt code or where it is in your mobile devices keyboard
Yeah in programming we just use
!=
:!
: NOT=
: EQUALIt is not a composite expression but a single expression made up from 2 letters. And this is not a widespread notation.
