My editor’s font/ligeratue changes the != To that symbol when programming. Unfortunately I have to use visual basic usually and type out Not most of the tiime but works well with C#.
Probably not a big increase in readability but I like it. Damn hate all the words needed in VB.net but oh well, could not be programming for work which would be worse and least still know .net libraries.
Well, that’s because they removed it after WW2. The original IBM keyboard had this, and other Nazi symbolism. (IBM collaborated with the Nazis, if you weren’t aware)
Another fun fact: the Windows logo today is where the swastika used to be. If you look closely, you can see how the swastika’s influence on Microsoft’s iconic logo persists to this very day
No, it’s false. It’s actually because a key doesn’t exist for “≠” making “!=” easier to type. Exclamation mark is used because in computer science it means “not”.
This is not one thing you learned today come on dude just think about it for two seconds. Could there possibly by another, much more likely reason that a programming language wouldn’t use ≠? Here’s a hint- if you’re at a computer, look down at your keyboard.
What’s your point? =/= Isn’t the “not equals to” term, it’s !=
Just as ≥ isn’t available, so you have >= and ≈ is not on the keyboard, so we have ==
Formal logical operators require the you to press the alt key and enter a numerical sequence on the keypad. If I had to type the logical operators with alt codes it would slow me down.
Fun fact: that’s why most computer programming languages use “!=” instead of “≠”
No it’s because you can’t type the not equal symbol very easily. If you type it it won’t work because most compilers aren’t expecting it.
But you know your fact is nicer than the boring reality
I thought it had more to do with the fact that there isn’t a ≠ key on most people’s keyboards.
That’s the actual reason

Whoa, I didn’t know Visual Basic is still around. I remember using VB6, many years ago

Yeah… source needed.
You’re just improvising bullshit now…
To be fair, there is a book called IBM and the Holocaust, and there is one instance of a typewriter with a special swastika key. It’s at the far right, topmost row. Typewriters like that, however, were made under “very rare circumstances”, according to this piece on Slate, which also happens to have photos of several German typewriters of the time.
As for the Windows thing, that’s nutty bullshit
Sauce required plz
“I wrote it on the internet” isn’t a good enough sauce for ppl, it’s tasteless
Damn… this is the one thing I learned today. Thanks!

I mean, if the point you’re trying to make is that “≠” is not available on a keyboard, =/= is.
!= is used instead of =/= because 1. shorter to type and 2. “!” means “not” in computer science.
3 chars, not 2
