{{Built-in|Not Equal to|<nowiki>≠</nowiki>}} is a [[comparison function]] which tests whether argument elements are [[Tolerant comparison|tolerantly]] unequal.

It is the [[Not|negation]] of [[Equal to]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>=</source>). Thus it returns 0 if the [[element]]s being compared [[match]] and 1 if they do not. | ||

Xor is one of the most important [[Boolean function]]s because it is equivalent to [[addition]] of the arguments with [[modulus]] 2. Like addition, it is [[wikipedia:Commutative property|commutative]] and [[wikipedia:Associative property|associative]]. It is also equivalent to [[subtraction]] with modulus 2 because the [[Minus|negative]] of a number is the same as the original number (mod 2): the negative of an odd number is still odd, and the negative of an even number is still even. | Xor is one of the most important [[Boolean function]]s because it is equivalent to [[addition]] of the arguments with [[modulus]] 2.
