Compares arguments for numerical inequality
Supported Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, and Web
Signature
(/= numstr [numstr ...])
-
numstr
-
Type: Integer, Real, or String
A number or string.
Return Values
Type: T or nil
T, if no two successive arguments are the same in value; otherwise
nil. If only one argument is supplied,
T is returned.
Note: The behavior of
/= does not quite conform to other LISP dialects. The standard behavior is to return
T if no two arguments in the list have the same value. In AutoLISP,
/= returns
T if no
successive arguments have the same value; see the examples that follow.
Examples
(/= 10 20)
T
(/= "you" "you")
nil
(/= 5.43 5.44)
T
(/= 10 20 10 20 20)
nil
(/= 10 20 10 20)
T
Note: In the last example, although there are two arguments in the list with the same value, they do not follow one another; thus/= evaluates to
T.
