# 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.
## Syntax
```js
math.unequal(x, y)
```
### Parameters
Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`x` | Number | BigNumber | Boolean | Complex | Unit | String | Array | Matrix | First value to compare
`y` | Number | BigNumber | Boolean | Complex | Unit | String | Array | Matrix | Second value to compare
### Returns
Type | Description
---- | -----------
Boolean | Array | Matrix | Returns true when the compared values are unequal, else returns false
## Examples
```js
var math = mathjs();
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
```
