areNotEqual(value1, value2) Last updated: 17. Oct 2026

Checks that two values are not equal. The exact opposite of areEqual: the same .NET comparison is used, so areNotEqual(null, null) is false.

See also: areEqual isNotNull assert

Name	Type	Description
value1	object	Value to compare with value2.
value2	object	Value to compare with value1.

true if not equal, false if equal. Also false if not called with exactly two arguments.

Example

#JS is mixed HTML (or other text file) with inline JavaScript with # starting and ending each inline statement.

#docly.areNotEqual("test", "asdf")#

The #JS code above produces the output shown below:

true

JS is normal JavaScript either running in the browser or on the Docly™ server.

write(docly.areNotEqual("abc", "abc"));
write("\n");
write(docly.areNotEqual(1, 2));
/* Expected output:
false
true
*/

The JS code above produces the output shown below:

false
true
