# Function unequal
|
|
|
|
Test whether two values are unequal.
|
|
|
|
The function tests whether the relative difference between x and y is
|
|
larger than the configured epsilon. The function cannot be used to compare
|
|
values smaller than approximately 2.22e-16.
|
|
|
|
For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
|
|
In case of complex numbers, x.re must unequal y.re, or x.im must unequal y.im.
|
|
|
|
Values `null` and `undefined` are compared strictly, thus `null` is unequal
|
|
with everything except `null`, and `undefined` is unequal with everying
|
|
except. `undefined`.
|

|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
math.unequal(x, y)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
Parameter | Type | Description
|
|
--------- | ---- | -----------
|
|
`x` | number | BigNumber | Fraction | boolean | Complex | Unit | string | Array | Matrix | undefined | First value to compare
|
|
`y` | number | BigNumber | Fraction | boolean | Complex | Unit | string | Array | Matrix | undefined | Second value to compare
|
|
|
|
### Returns
|
|
|
|
Type | Description
|
|
---- | -----------
|
|
boolean | Array | Matrix | Returns true when the compared values are unequal, else returns false
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
math.unequal(2 + 2, 3); // returns true
|
|
math.unequal(2 + 2, 4); // returns false
|
|
|
|
var a = math.unit('50 cm');
|
|
var b = math.unit('5 m');
|
|
math.unequal(a, b); // returns false
|
|
|
|
var c = [2, 5, 1];
|
|
var d = [2, 7, 1];
|
|
|
|
math.unequal(c, d); // returns [false, true, false]
|
|
math.deepEqual(c, d); // returns false
|
|
|
|
math.unequal(0, null); // returns true
|
|
```
