Python has a number of basic operators that include some *comparison operators*, too. A **comparison operator** compares the values on both sides of the operator to classify the relation between them as either `true` or `false`.

# Not equal operator

One important basic comparison operator, in Python, is the **not equal** operator. The two operators that can be used to perform the not-equal comparison in Python are shown below:

- `!=`
- `<>` (deprecated)

If the values of the two operands (any valid Python objects) given on each side of the operator are not equal, then the condition returns `true`, otherwise `false`.



# Example

Here are some examples that show how to use the `!=` operator

print('[] != [] evaluates to: ', [] != [])

print('10 != 15 evaluates to: ', 10 != 15)

print('{\'a\': 1} != {\'a\': 1} evaluates to: ' , {'a': 1} != {'a': 1})

Not equal operator in Python

Python's not equal operator, signified by !=, returns true if two operands are not equal, otherwise false.
