<h2>Syntax</h2>

<p><div class="box">

<dl>
<dt><nobr>(/= <i>expr1</i> <i>expr2</i> ...)</nobr></dt>
<dd><i>exprN </i> - a numeric expression<br>
returns - <a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> if the results of
comparing the expressions are all true,
<a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> otherwise</dd>
</dl>

</div></p>

<h2>Description</h2>

<p>The <nobr>'/=' [not-equal]</nobr> function takes an arbitrary number of
numeric arguments. It checks to see if all the numeric arguments are
different. <a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> is returned if
the arguments are numerically not equivalent,
<a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> is returned otherwise.</p>

<h2>Examples</h2>

<pre class="example">
(/= 1 1)            =&gt; NIL
(/= 1 2)            =&gt; T
(/= 1 1.0)          =&gt; NIL
(/= 1 2 3)          =&gt; T
(/= 1 2 2)          =&gt; NIL
(/= "a" "b")        =&gt; <font color="#AA0000">error: bad argument type</font>
(setq a 1 b 12.4)   =&gt; 12.4  <font color="#008844">; set up A and B with values</font>
(/= a b)            =&gt; NIL
</pre>

<p><b>XLISP Bug</b></p>

<pre class="example">
(/= 1 2 3)      =&gt; T  <font color="#008844">; OK</font>
(/= 1 2 3 2 1)  =&gt; T  <font color="#AA0000">; wrong</font>
</pre>

<p>This is only a problem for the '/=' function. <nobr>The bug</nobr> can be
reproduced with <nobr>Nyquist 3.03</nobr> <nobr>in November 2010</nobr>.</p>
