What does <> mean?

[sail3005]

I downloaded an asp script, and it used "<>" a lot.

Ex:


if Request.Form("_fieldOrder") <> "" then


What does "<>" do?

<> = Inequality or not equal to.

Example:

Up <> Down
Left <> Right
"MyText" <> ""

Thanks for the help. :D

So, "<>" is basically the same thing as "!="?

Up != Down
etc...

Guess so :rolleyes:

Hi,
Actually, <> means "less than or greater than" which is another way of saying "not equal to".
